The bad news? Nebraskas Governor Ricketts gets to pick Fortenberrys replacement and with this being Ricketts last term as governor, he most likely will appoint himself and have the Lt. Governor finish out the term? Ricketts is an absolute asshole!

No, the governor does not get to pick Fortenberry's replacement. There will be a special election.
