Your area of specialty but point me to a case of a court mandating an elelction canceled by a state legislature.https://twitter.com/rickhasen/status/929420582105464832 …

I'll have to do some research but you might look at 11th Circuit decision in Roe v. Alabama, how you can't change the rules of the election once put in motion. Military voters have already voted. Equal protection and due process issues.
Also a good argument that the 17th Amendment *requires* that there be a replacement election; it cannot simply be cancelled. http://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1051&context=nulr …

So far my research has not uncovered any case where a state tried to cancel a Senate special election which was challenged in court. Likely because it so unbelievably undemocratic to try to do so.
