Federal Judges Will Decide on McSally’s Appointment

“Federal appeals-court judges have agreed to decide whether Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) can continue to serve until the 2020 election without having been elected to her seat by voters,” the Arizona Republic reports.

“In December 2018, McSally was appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to fill the Senate seat vacated by the Aug. 25, 2018, death of veteran Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Now, McSally and Ducey are defendants in a lawsuit filed by a small group of Arizona voters from across the political spectrum that claims it’s unconstitutional for McSally to serve as senator for 27 months without being elected.”
