Reply #5: this wouldn't stop the special election, would it? [View All]

I thought this was just to have someone in there until the special election is held - if the shoe were on the other foot, it would still only mean having that senator there for a few months - I think the basic idea is a good one. What might be even better, as some have suggested, is having each senator select a person to take over the rest of their term if they should not be able to finish it for some reason.
