No name out.
Now.

Arizona anon here. Interesting thing happened here last week in the state legislature.

While the whole state and media (myself included) were focused on the statewide teacher strike, the legislature quietly passed a bill, HB2538, to slightly modify the appointment process for US Senator.

Our governor appoints a new Senator, who must be of the same political party as the seat just vacated. Then the seat goes up for election at the next statewide election. But, if the seat is vacated after a certain date, then the election is pushed two years out. That date was originally May 31. But on April 30, the same day as Q's post, the legislature changed the date to March 31. From the bill's status page at the legislature, it still awaits the Governor's signature, but should be a done deal. If NoName's seat is vacated now, the Governor appoints a new Senator who won't be up for election until 2020.

Also, just to close loopholes, the bill clarifies the political party requirement. If the original holder of the seat changes party, the Governor must appoint someone of the party the person ran on at the last election. No last-minute changes to Demorat allowed for old NoName.

Well crap. The governor is going to appoint Cindy McCain or some other party insider who hates Trump, rather than allow the people to choose in a special election.

OTOH, the people of Arizona elected McCain, so what does that say about their discernment.

I would think this would be a good thing, provided that the AZ governor is a white hat. But I’m not familiar with where his allegiance lies.

Is it possible that some of the recent elections were stolen?

I wonder if they found out McCain’s approx death date ? (I haven’t seen anywhere reporting that McCain has x amount of days\weeks\months to live.)
Looks like this effort started early February. Probably just good business\politics.
