1. @sendavidperdues term expires on January 3. Even if he wins the January 5 run-off, he wont 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@ossoffin that run-off.

And if he loses on the 5th you think he can be appointed for a couple of days?

So maybe he isn't a dumbfuck?

(46,142 posts)5. why couldn't he? Georgia law allows the governor to appoint someone to fill a vacancy.
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.
