That is actually NOT how it works in Kentucky. The party of the leaving Senator provides him with three names and the Gov picks from them.

Of all the rules around for replacing Senators, I like this one the best.

Like it all you want, that is actually NOT how it works in Kentucky.

24RS HB622 compels the governor to call a special election.

Repeals KRS 63.200, which requires the Governor to fill vacancies in the office of United States Senator; amends KRS 118.720 to require that the Governor sign a proclamation for an election to fill a vacancy in the office of United States Senator and to extend the term of the candidate who wins special election to the remainder of the term; and amends KRS 118.740 and 118.770 to conform; EMERGENCY.
