thanks. What I am wondering is how the timing of an election affects the 100 seats of the Senate election cycle ? Doesn't 33 Senators run for office during one cycle, another 33 Senators run during another cycle, and finally 34 Senators run during another cycle ? Adding a Senate race to one of these cycles would seem to violate Constitutional edicts.

Electing a dead person to a senate seat violates Constitutional "edicts" as you put it, as well as state law, but it didn't stop Jean Carnahan or the DemoRATS.
