If he loses....then he quits (on 11/6).

Then Forrester wins and becomes the Senator from NJ on Jan. 3, 2003..... Someone else can be sworn in for the remainder of the Torch's term in 107th which ends on Jan 3, 2003 assuming the Senate is in session after the election. They are tenatively scheduled to adjour in Oct. but it's doubtful they'll make the scheduled date.

Not if that reading of the law is correct! Apply the law the same way we've seen here.

Is Torch Senator? Yes
Does a vacancy occur during his term? Yes

Is it too late to schedule a special election before election day? Yes
Can the Gov appoint someone and name the election day as Nov 2004? Yes! (by that tortured reading).

Apply only the statute as has been argued here and tell me why it wouldn't happen?
