IMO, any politician serving their term who wants to switch parties should be
required to resign that position.
Her constituents didn't elect a Democrat. Effectively forcing one on them without their consent is fraud.

In the United States, people vote for people, not for parties. In Oklahoma, you can vote straight party line, but if you do and inadvertently vote for a candidate you don't support, that is your problem. I have left individual lines on ballots blank before rather than vote for someone i did not like, regardless of their party affiliation.
