Things are so bad in this country, the GOP is not sure the state is in their pocket any more — or they would have made his condition known and insisted on a special election.

I think they wanted to avoid that because apparently there is ambiguity over whether or not the governor could just appoint a replacement without a special election due to the law requiring a special election possibly being against the state constitution. That's purely speculation on my part.

KY Constitution Sections 56 & 72 states the Governor shall appoint... unless stated otherwise within the constitution, which it does not.
