1. So does that mean the Governor appoints his replacement?

2. That's the GOP. They elect a corpse and an indicted felon (Collins)

It's like they've gone past anarchy into nihilism.

No-- it's Trumpism. Both these guys licked up all of Trump's spittle, so the Trumpians loved them, dead or alive.

3. Nevada moving up the list for dumbest state.

4. How many votes were cast before he died?

The state election site is very slow, and one has to select a location. I chose one at random and even then it did not provide the early voting date. But Nevada does have early voting.

I have read a lot here about the eagerness to vote early, and of people being thrilled and/or proud that they did vote early. So one has to wonder, how many of the votes for this man were early voters who voted for him before he died. If it was to turn out the early votes elected him, one has to question the wisdom of early voting.

Of course, everyone assumes that it was "stupid Republicans" who voted for a man they didn't know was dead, or did know and didn't care, but was it?

5. Honestly I'm surprised that a dead brothel owner has to RUN to hold office in Nevada.
