There's zero sourcing on this idea that he will become governor in January. He probably will, but to say so without a source is original research. (Presumably, such a source would also include the day he's expected to become governor, so we don't have to hedge everything). --Golbez (talk) 23:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
The first source that's been given, [1] is insufficient. It says ".. when Scott is sworn into the Senate on Jan. 3, 2019." But just because a senate term begins doesn't mean 1) that you are sworn in that day, or 2) that you resign that day. Scott could resign earlier; Scott could choose not to resign at all. The article even notes this, so we can't hardly use it as a source that Lopez-Cantera would take office on the 3rd or, indeed, at all. It's odd to use it as a source that he will be governor on the 3rd when the very next paragraph says that might not happen. --Golbez (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
