Georgia’s special elections are awful. Why are they post-inauguration? Louisiana has runs offs and do them in early December, and don’t have any

lapse in representation. Right now, after Inauguration Day, there are only 99 senators. That’s dumb.

It's no Georgia 5th Congressional District (John Lewis' seat) -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 07:59 1
- 340k votes in the race for who gets it for a month, 25k in the race for who gets it for two years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 08:03
I agree. 4-5 weeks after the general would make sense. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 4, 07:50 8
- I admit, I'm confused which election we're discussing here. The Senate run-offs are tomorrow right? -- nm - Qale Jan 4, 07:51 7
  - My understanding is that Perdue is not currently a sitting Senator. Loeffler is. -- nm - Dano Jan 4, 08:02 6
    - So who would vote on Wednesday Loeffler? -- nm - eag Jan 4, 08:04 5
      - I think Loeffler can vote on Wednesday, but Perdue would not. Perdue's term ended yesterday. His seat is empty. Loeffler was appointed. - Dano Jan 4, 08:12 4
        
        I am pretty sure this is correct. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 4, 08:23
        
        I noticed her name not listed as one seditionist -- nm - eag Jan 4, 08:15 2

I would hesitate to use Louisiana as a standard of civics normality. :) - Hibernating Baron Jan 4, 07:47
Highlighting these timing and others issues have been a good outcome of this election. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:43
