(CN) – Voters filed a federal lawsuit against Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, claiming he violated the 17^th Amendment when he appointed Jon Kyl to former Sen. John McCain’s empty U.S. Senate seat.
The lawsuit claims the Constitution requires Senate vacancies to be filled by the winner of a special election. Kyl, a former Senator was appointed to the seat in September following McCain’s death from cancer.Citing the 17^th Amendment, the lawsuit says, “the state legislature has no authority to mandate that a temporary appointee shall serve in lieu of or in preference to a Senator directly elected by the people, beyond any period necessary to hold an orderly election. The state legislature may not substitute its own choice or the Governor’s choice for a choice made by the people of the State.”
The complaint asks the court to order Gov. Ducey to hold an immediate election. As it currently stands, the state will not hold an election for the seat until the 2020 general election.
“As a result, plaintiff voters and other citizens of Arizona will be deprived of elected representation in the Senate for over [28] months, and will suffer irreparable injury from such a lengthy loss of elected representation in the United States Senate,” the lawsuit states. . .
