    Remember though voting matters and US style democracy is the best system we have right now so there’s literally nothing you can do

      it’s somewhat common to do this with a person’s surviving spouse. the idea is the person who knew him best would cast votes as the dead guy would, which is ostensibly what the constituents voted for or lobbyists bribed for.

      lindsay of course never married a beard.

    After their deaths, Graham’s brother, Lindsey, arranged for her to live with her aunt and uncle in Seneca, South Carolina. Around nine years her senior, Lindsey adopted Darlene prior to joining the Air Force.

    ???

      I was wondering why the article alternated from “Darline” to “Darlene” and then…

      Her brother taught her to spell her first name “Darline,” a spelling she continued to use in adulthood

      Soo her dumbass brother didn’t know the correct spelling of her name after their parents died, and she just stuck with the misspelled version bc it was all she ever knew being raised by him?

        Yeah, I caught that too. It’s just so bizarre.

      Actually this looks less sinister than it sounds. It seems like after their parents died Lindsey adopted his sister so he could be her legal guardian. She might have otherwise been made a ward of the state and stuck with a foster family.

    Upon taking office, she will become the first woman to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate.

    it’s her turn.
