Someone on Lemmy said that using his death to mislead the public, stymie democracy and play procedural shenanigans against the Democrats is definitely how he would have wanted to go.
I do want to clarify as a Kentuckian, we do not want a dead man representing us. The republican party officials don’t want someone else. Most of Kentucky Dems and reps are getting pissed that he’s basically been pulling a “Weekend at Bernie’s” for 40+ days. It’s likely even with a special election that another Republican would still get elected. But people are still pissed this farce is happening
How does having a corpse representing Kentucky be better? Can the GOP keep control of his vote?

Anyone a who knows anything about that asshole thought the same thing. Is probably in his end of life directives.

About one Kentucky’s worth I think.
Doesn’t seem like much.
More then one Puerto Rico.

Well yes nothing is not much.

Rather before the deadline, the Governor would get to appoint a caretaker to the seat.
