9. They are delaying to deprive Beshear of the most effective challenge to the 2021 and 2024 changes.

At least that is my current theory.

If the vacancy was far enough in advance of the election, Beshear could challenge the law barring him from making the appointment more effectively.

It is arguable that less than 3 months before an election, the office would have remained vacant even under the law before the 2021 changes.

Timing matters.

Beshear made it pretty clear that if he was given the opportunity, he would challenge the law.
