Topic	Alabama looking to do away with special elections for vacant senate seats
Balrog0 01/23/18 10:20:21 PM #21:	Presently, 36 states fill a U.S. Senate vacancy at their next regularly-scheduled general election. The remaining 14 require that a special election be called. And only four states prohibit the governor from making an interim appointment, requiring instead that the seat remain vacant until the next election (whether regular or special) is held. In another three, the governor may make an appointment to fill the vacancy temporarily, but only under very strict conditions. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:894674900] in Alabama lo...
