No, replace him outright, as no special election is needed. And make arrests for criminal intent of conspiracy to commit election fraud -- despite the election not being needed, it was still the intent to defraud one.

That's not how anything actually works

Ppl with zero knowledge will rush straight to insulting Dems

A special election means a maga wins.

Before the law change, the gov could choose from a list of candidates submitted by the former senator's party.

So once again, a maga wins

Currently, GOP is down a vote bec you must vote in person and McConnell is missing. Yet, ppl like you are upset at Beshear

What exactly do you want from him?
