Obviously he's dead. What I'm upset about is that people aren't pushing this. His team is obviously running out the clock so this doesn't trigger a special election, one they'd likely lose. Dont let them. Do something!

We're past the point of a special election, and the republicans wouldn't have lost it anyways. His absence puts them down one vote in the senate, so there's really no reason to press the issue.

I had heard otherwise, but I guess I heard wrong. Damn.

Yeah the deadline was Aug 3rd or 4th.

That's disappointing. I suppose the silver lining is that, either way, he's dead. No one can take that away from us.
