[Theodore R.]

So what happened to the vacant U.S. House seat? Whose was it?

[Politically Correct]

The seat is in a heavily Republican district.
It would allow the R's to more easily override the gov's vetoes.

I believe that the gov was required to call for a special election.....thus not faithfully enforcing the law.
But I could be wrong on the special election thingy, the law might be more vague than I understand it to be.
