When Mitch McConnell disappeared from public view, Kentucky exposed a democratic blind spot: the law can see a vacant seat, but not a state left underrepresented by silence.
Mitch McConnell has been brain dead for years. He contributes only negativity or silence to the dialogue that is intended by well meaning legislators to govern. Congress should demand to know his health status or require Kentucky voter to find a replacement with a functioning brain.
Regardless of party affiliation, constituents have a right to know that their elected representative is functioning at full capacity. If a representative falls ill, there should be a mechanism for the governor to appoint a temporary replacement from the same political party. While a brief buffer of 4 to 7 days is reasonable, leaving a state underrepresented for an extended period is grossly unfair to the people whose voices deserve to be heard.
The same was true when Senator Dianne Feinstein was absent.
