The reason they want to stop a Special Election, is in one of those Maise can run despite losing the Republican primary
He might not win, but he’d suck up enough votes from the other Republican to give it to a Dem

So I’ve heard this said before, but I don’t really get it. Massie is a current Kentucky House representative, he lost his primary so his term will end in January. McConnell’s seat is up for election in November, so his term also ends in January. If a special election is held, it’s just to fill out his term until the end of January. So in a scenario where a special election is held and Massie wins, he has to resign his House seat to take the Senate seat, but the term still ends in January. Does that really change anything?
