Right and wrong. The history is right and the processes is right for Missouri but not for Alaska. The details of the process vary from state to state and are covered by state, not federal, law.

Well my answer was actually referring to the direct quote and something Jester had said earlier in that Missourians didn't really elect a dead man. It was made pretty clear what your vote for Carnahan meant (I even voted for the dead man since I was in MO at the time and I had issues with Ashcroft) and I see by rereading that I really muddied it up.
That is what I get for posting at work while I'm waiting for some scripts to finish running so I can check them but not wanting to start in on other work so I post at the lounge. :)
But to keep the waters muddy I did read/hear that the Alaskan process isn't much different from the MO process. It's my understanding they will still do a 2 year temp appointment and have a special election if Stevens is booted after he is elected.
