The best line of the campaign, and perhaps a turning point, was when Karen Handel asked Jon Ossoff in one of the debates who he was going to vote for in the special election, knowing that Ossoff couldn’t vote for himself. Surprisingly, Ossoff hadn’t anticipated the question and stumbled for several minutes trying to fashion a coherent response.
Perhaps she is, like Justice Ginsburg, already dead. CGI and holograms can do wonders.
But he had to be real. He had Dan. Druff.
This isn’t actually very funny. Locally a few years ago the Dems ran a ghost candidate whose website spouted conservative statements against a local and effective conservative and a leftist. The ghost split the conservative vote and the leftist won.
This is happening more and more.
Which raises the question, what if Stooksbury had won? Who would have given the acceptance speech? Who would have been sworn in?
FWIW, elementary internet searches indicate there exists a Rodney Allen Stooksbury, aged 56, with an address in zipcode 30339, who has worked at Lockheed Martin and is related to Karen.

Last Gov race in Virginia had McAuliffe winning because a Libertarian transplant from Texas ran and split the R vote DESPITE the local and National Libertarians denouncing him and calling him a phony.
Of course we must remember all those great R’s who stayed home because they didn’t like the way the R candidate combed his hair or some other poppycock AND the ‘horrors’ of the McDonald investigation kept some people ‘home’ because the R candidate was the former AG and whatever other reason the RINOs could come up with.
Of course RINOs Priebus & the Bush camp Karl Rove wouldn’t give the Conservative Cuccinelli the ‘time of day’...
The same crew that ensured D wins in Del, CT etc by actually going against the TeaParty/Cons R and letting them swing in the wind
My first real DT ‘misgiving’ was when he picked Priebus for COS....maybe PDT was following the old Arab theory that better let your enemy sleep in your tent because if you kick him out he will just come back and pee under the flap - so keep him close so you can keep an eye on him....
Your plan just needs one minor tweak.
The libs and MSM need to lobby against the “discriminatory” requirement that humans and not VR creations must run for office. The antiquated requirement for human beings to appear in person and sign actual notarized documents to declare their candidacy is _so_ dead white men 18th century. :-)
Weird.
