Question for you professor: If @SenatorStrange resigned tomorrow, and the governor appointed a New senator, would this special be mooted?https://twitter.com/rickhasen/status/929471767004848128 …
I don't think so. The 17th amendment requires calling an election to fill a vacancy. That election has been called.

If this special election could be mooted, then what would stop Hugh's trick from being executed in perpetuity, with each appointed Senator resigning and being replaced before the subsequent special election?
