I'll take this one. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 02:29, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@QatarStarsLeague: Thanks so much! Just a note, I clipped most of the newspaper articles so it can be viewable from behind the paywall. The only ones I didn't do are multi-page profiles on the race (that are unfortunately really extensively cited here)-- if you need help viewing it, I can send links to images if need be.

Was there not a placeholder, interim representative for Pepper's seat after his death? It seems that the governor typically appoints an interim officeholder.

• Not for U.S. House seats-- Senators can get interim appointments, but it's because they have 6 year terms and it's usually until a special election can be held (laws vary by state). But for the U.S. House, it's always a special.

Comma after "flip the seat".

• Done.

The New York Times should be linked.

• Done.

Was there antagonism of a racial bent between Richman and Kennedy?

• There was, but the coverage doesn't really talk about it that much. It really focuses on Lee Atwater's comments nationally and that Kennedy doesn't endorse him afterwards. I'll keep looking for sources to flesh it out but for now there's nothing to add there. Nomader (talk) 14:58, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
