Here is a thought. What would happen if as soon as Breyer retires Georgia proves that the special election for its Senators back on Jan 5th 2021 was stolen and therefore cancelled. Then the Senate would be 50 Republican's and 48 Democrats. Republican Governor would pick the two replacements.
Talk about libs losing their minds. It would be awesome.
From what I understand the Governor picks from his own party or anyone he wants. Or he can call for a special election.
There would be very little time to get a special election in and a Justice sworn in before 2023 if this were to happen after June/July
Completely depends on the individual state.
