I don't believe that is the case in KY


It is, but the cavet is that he has to pick from a list of three names presented to him from the party of the sitting senator who died.

It also puts things in a situation where the Dem Gov of KY gets to appoint his replacement correct?

Good question. Beshear is the governor and he is definitely a Democrat.

KY specifies that the party of the deceased senator will give the governor a list of three potential replacements to be chosen from and a special election must be held in X days.

There was talk that Brashear would refuse to appoint anyone and just keep the seat vacant indefinitely but further law changes are supposed to have patched out his ability to do that.
