Perdue's term ends Jan. 3rd, dumbfuck thinks he's gonna object on the 6th.

1. @sendavidperdue’s term expires on January 3. Even if he wins the January 5 run-off, he won’t be seated in time.

2. His willingness to subvert legitimate, democratic election results is as compelling a reason as there could be to vote for his opponent—@ossoff—in that run-off.

Doesn't Governor Kemp just appoint Perdue and reappoint Loeffler to the offices? Brother Buzz Dec 2020 #2
He can be seated if Kemp appoints him to fill the vacancy on January 3 onenote Dec 2020 #3
And if he loses on the 5th you think he can be appointed for a couple of days? Nevilledog Dec 2020 #4
why couldn't he? Georgia law allows the governor to appoint someone to fill a vacancy. onenote Dec 2020 #5

From January 3 until the winner of the Jan 5 election is sworn in, there's a vacancy. If, heaven forbid, Kemp looks to be the winner, there's absolutely no risk to Kemp for appointing him to serve until he's sworn in.
