A lot of people are asking “why hide McConnell’s state? Not like a Dem would win the special election?” If McConnell vacated before August 3rd cut off it’d be a special election and any one can register as an independent… Including Massie. Which would split the Republican vote, giving him or maybe even the Dem the chance at the plurality. But, if McConnell’s seat is not vacated before the 3rd by legally stepping down or a signed death certificate, then it’s too close to the next election and rules prevent a special election which bars any new registrations at this point. With McConnell’s wife having travelled to China AFTER he was hospitalized, the next of kin isn’t available to sign off and so the bar for ending life support is extremely high (would require full brain stem death, which is not present in some patients who are never coming back) So all they have to do is drag their feet until August 3rd, then tell you that he didn’t make it. And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat. Just like that fucking old turtle would have wanted.(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
