Won't he just win in Nov then ? I mean I guess a month.or two is time to get some stuff voted through but is it really worth all this cover up ?
The way I understand it, which is vaguely, Massie already lost the primary or something so he can't run in the regular election. But he could run in a special election, which would divide the republican base and help a democrat to win.
It is convoluted though, and beyond my limited comprehension of political complexities. Republicans tend to be very underhanded like this though, so republican-controlled states have convoluted laws which enable them to do these kinds of shenanigans.
Thank you
That makes sense
In their opinion, it clearly is.
I guess they have some really nefarious stuff they wish to force through before possibly losing the majority and don't think Massey would go for it.
