I think the gov appoints someone until a special election can be held. So, both. (Although my question earlier today was whether it's the same procedure in all states, or if it's more like ::handwave handwave passive voice:: Someone Is Appointed until the special election.)
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is it really a special election? I thought the gov just appointed someone in such cases.
Alaska changed from the gov being able to appoint someone after a gov appointed his daughter (I think).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks, Sparky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe I'll apply for a job in the new administration? It's a pretty short form! [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I'll apply for the position of Coordinator of Cat-related Activities. I can do that until they create the Department of Cats for me....

I think that job has quite the vetting process.

Really? I was thinking of just filling out the application, and under "Qualifications" I was gonna put, "I like cats."

It's sort of awesome that there's a website for the transition.

Trust my rage
Corwood, has he seen Cars? There's a "Serpentine!" line in that, too
It's from somewhere else? Cars is my only reference, but I am challenged that way.
