Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, and Hawaii are the only states that require the governor to choose someone from the resigning (or indicted) Senator’s party. In most other states, including Virginia, the governor appoints a temporary replacement to serve until the special election can be held. In most states, the governor appoints anyone he wants, generally from his own party.

TY. I still think we have the better way. This applies to the Reps too.
