King sure is getting Iowa tons of publicity again

[rurallib]

I am old enough to remember when Iowa was considered a small state with nice people who looked more at a person's character than who they were.

Boy that has sure changed. Never thought I would ever want to leave my beloved state, but we are at a point where we are fighting with the likes of Mississippi for reputation.

1. No kidding.

I'm also looking for a way out. Housing market is poor right now, unfortunately.

2. Yeah I would leave tomorrow if I could.

And King is the top of the list of reasons why I want to move. Even though I'm not in his district.

4. If he quits does Reynolds appoint a replacement or do they vote?

Hope JD is still available.

5. Good question

Art. I, sec. 2, clause 4 of the US Constitution addresses congressional vacancies. It implies that special elections are to be held, however there is space for state law to define and implement the specifics of such an election. On that point I'm uncertain what Iowa Code requires. Leave it to RepubliCons to do their best to rig any election, though.

6. GOP Governor Senate and House will ensure it's a "special" election if King goes.

He plays victim so well I don't see him leaving without a push.
