I don’t understand the need for a special election. Are they going to undermine the nominee?
For Nov. 5th through Jan. 1st ?? Why not just man up & serve the term out?
It appears to me without the special election if brat wins in Nov. He wouldn’t be seated until Jan. with all the new congressman.
A special election allows brat to immediately become an active House member and will be able to participate and vote on legislation the day after the election.
So we will have a special election for someone to represent us for Nov & Dec 2014. And on the same day, we will have a general election for our rep after Jan 2015?
If he quits the office before the end of his term, does he forfeit his pension?
