If you look at the senate calendar, there aren’t enough days before the election when the Senate is even there to confirm someone.
The key would be if Grahamnesty could vote someone out of his committee before the election. That might be the best of all worlds. It would force any squishes in the GOP to strongly support; it would turn out any small part of the base that was going to stay home (In AZ, Ward-ers or never Trumepers), but you could get the vote done before Kelly is sworn in if he wins).
I see no way the confirmation happens before the election, but I hope I’m wrong.
As for the mourning period, don’t be foolish. Even some of the staunchest GOP senators would find it repellent to move before that time. It would risk many of the squishy but likely-to-confirm justices like Alexander, Burrito, and Portman.
