OK, I read the piece.

Why is there not a replacement for the resigned senator that could be a Democrat and restore the status quo?

A special election needs to be held. The governor can’t appoint someone to fill the empty seat. This guy is from a conservative part of Va, so the Repubs have a good shot of winning this seat anyway.

As VanShuyten stated, a special election is required, (so McAuliffe can't appoint some Rat).

Other Virginians says this district is conservative, so the chance for Rat voter fraud is probably limited.
