Do any of you read other people's commments? Above, I thought I clarified the Minnesota law.

If a nominee in a Senate race dies during a campaign, his or her political party can select a replacement candidate no later than four days before the general election. Election Day this year is November 5.

This thread is uninformed. Sorry to disappoint the Jesse-bashers.

I guess everyone saw your comment about a substitute in the election. But that elected Senator doesn't get sworn in until January. During the interim, doesn't the Governor have the option of appointing an interim Senator or appointing the Nov 5 winner...either at his option?

That is why the thread is still discussing it.

The winner of this election won't be seated until January.
Jesse should/can appoint someone to serve until then.

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to think others are missing the point eh?
