Expect most people were no more aware of this than I...what a great gift to sleazy political groups. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks to the corrupt 6 of 9 on the SCOTUS gutting the VRA several conservative states have enacted voter suppression laws. Rule of law be damned. It's about control.

states got to decide when elections are for some one who has died, some allow the governor to appoint. Yes I believe seats need to be filled within 90 days and the speaker or pro temp would have to install them within 30 days of being elected or appointed. I believe this is being fair to either side and hopefully the new one would do what his constituents would want

I like this, "democracy doesn't defend itself". So true , the defense of democracy is up to us. Again, you bring such an important issue to light. You people who write for the Coffman Chronicle are brilliant to discover all the things that are not reported to us. All the facts and information we are unaware of or don't think twice about. The things we just accept at face value, for what they "seem" to be. Thank you for what you do. I never thought about the far reaching effects of seats left unfilled - it's huge, it's wrong and it's misrepresentation by lack of representation. Another frightening thing working against us!!! Yes, delaying elections is not a new strategy, but given how corrupt the trump regime is, this scares me!!!
