It seems that the six states which appointed Senators to fill vacant seats recently (CO, DE, FL, IL, NY & WVA) have laws which require that after the November election the winner of the election race becomes Senator immediately. NY is an exception. It has no such law. This means that the Democrats MIGHT NOT have 60 vote majority even without other wins. Therefore, they MIGHT NOT be able to ram through undesirable legislation in the lame duck session after the November election and before swearing in the other elected Senators.
