How does having a corpse representing Kentucky be better? Can the GOP keep control of his vote?

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.
Anyone a who knows anything about that asshole thought the same thing. Is probably in his end of life directives.
How much power does Kentucky have??
About one Kentucky’s worth I think.
Doesn’t seem like much.
More then one Puerto Rico.
Doesn’t seem like much.
Well yes nothing is not much.
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
Rather before the deadline, the Governor would get to appoint a caretaker to the seat.
