So now Senate seats are offered to family members. The Constitution truly is a piece of parchment paper in a museum. I cry for this great republic!
That has been the traditional pattern, when a male Senator dies.
IIRC, that is how Missouri's McCaskill got her Senate seat.

RE: how McCaskill got her seat
Unfortunately, no. You mean Jean Carnahan. McCaskill defeated Jim Talent on a razor thin margin of dead people votes.

You are thinking of Jean Carnahan who served out the last year of her dead husband’s term.

Totally wrong on McCaskill. it was the widow Carnahan!
Mel Carnahan died in an electioneering car accident & his widow was elected to th seat under the banner, I still remember Mel!
