re: #1 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

BTW, I meant to ask this is in a prior thread, but didn’t get around to it:
I have never before heard of a State where a vacancy in the State Lege gets filled by a unilateral appointment by the Governor - is that for the *full* term, or is there some proviso wrt an upcoming general election?

Mostly, I thought Statehouse vacancies (unless right before an election) were filled by special election.

Is this unique to Nebraska? I know you only have 49 seats in the Unicameral: are vacancies considered too important to leave unfilled for too long??
