Topic	KY GOP blocks Dem governor from appointing McConnell's replacement
ClayGuida 03/01/24 7:29:32 PM #10:	Thanatos_the_Great posted... Exactly - used to. Governors appointing someone to fill a vacancy is a historical relic that should have been done away with long ago. The point of it is to make sure that people have representation until either the next election, or they can hold an election. Since this is an election year, if McConnell stepped down today, they'd appoint a new one until November when they'd hold an actual election. Like when Doug Jones was elected in Alabama. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:979137517] in KY GOP blo...
