Talk About Tennis 2.0

Performance art indeed.

Just spitballing here but who would they appoint to fill the rest of his term? We're talking deSantis here so we know it's going to be some MAGAt.

I'll believe it when I see it. Was creepy Roy Moore not on a GOP ballot more than once in Alabama or do I have amnesia? Not apples to apples comparison and not suggesting Gaetz isn't worse, but still, they've been very okay with admitted stuff, not just allegations, so I'll believe swift action after an indictment only if it actually occurs.

Governors can't appoint replacements for Representatives. They can only do so for Senators, and even then, there are some states, such as Wisconsin, that don't allow it. Instead, there would be a special election.

Thanks Tog. I didn't know that was the case.

This is the only one of these I could find. I tried to find one without all the IG stuff

Puerto Rico state 51, Mexico state 52, Guatemala state 53, Venezuela state 54 (hey, we are for sale!) and keep moving.
Might as well all be states if over 50% of our people want to move to Miami or NYC (Mexico could be called New New Mexico).
(And I am.... sort of joking. Uhm)

District of Columbia is 51. Personally, if DC doesn't get it, I don't see PR getting it.

Also in case the Mississippi SoS wasn't clear:
