What difference does it make? They know how he's going to vote, they don't require his corporeal being. In fact, MAGA is sure that the Constitution allows for Senators to legislate from beyond the grave, so they're going to demand that Lindsey Graham and McConnell can still vote.
They prevented a special election that would allow a democrat to run, and loosing a crucial seat.
