Texas has a special election for Sylvester Turner's seat (TX-18), a full seven months after he died, because Abbott capriciously delayed it.
A simple, long overdue reform would be for Congress to mandate by federal law how soon after a vacancy special elections have to happen.

Looks like Christian Menefee,D, and TX Harris (Houston) county attorney will win.
I’m so glad that my brother will have representation in congress after so long without.
