Makes perfect sense in today' GOP world. If the GOP loses the election, the GOP governor just circumvents the will of the people and appoints her as GOP senator.
How did the governor circumvent the will of the people?
I don't recall McSally being elected. In fact, I recall her being defeated.
Nobody Ducey would appoint would have been elected. The state law in Arizona dictates that the governor appoints a replacement to the Senate should a Senator not finish out their term. The people reelected Ducey by a large margin to another term and he made the appointment as the law states, therefore, the will of the people was carried out. The only thing being circumvented is your rationality at the expense of your partisan butt hurt.
Avoiding an election is "the will of the people"? yep. it is that GOP dictionary again!
Did Republicans make the law or is that your butt hurt talking again?
Governors appointing Senate vacancies is the law in most states.
If you want to get partisan about it, let's talk about the Democrat dictionary, shall we? In my home state of Massachusetts back in 2004 when John Kerry was running for president and Mitt Romney was governor the Democratic legislature thought Kerry would defeat Bush, so in order to avoid Romney appointing a Republican to fill out the remainder of his Senate term they changed the law to call for a special election instead. Of course, Kerry lost, so it didn't matter in that instance, but flash forward to 2010 when Teddy Kennedy died. The tactic ended up backfiring on them because Scott Brown, a Republican, won the special election for his seat, whereas the then Democratic governor Deval Patrick, could have appointed a Democrat to succeed him had they not changed the law six years earlier. Guess what the Democrats did after that happened? They changed the law again to go back to governor appointment.
Talk about circumventing the will of the people, right, assclown? I'm not aware of the Republicans pulling a stunt like that anywhere, but go ahead and keep bloviating and making a complete dumbass out of yourself.
