Brings the question to my mind. What happens when a States representative dies. Is there an emergency election, runner up, is there a hierarchy like the president has.
Every state has their own rules. Governor might appoint, or there might be a special election, or the seat goes vacant until the next election.
I'm not sure, but I think a replacement can be picked by the governor of the representative's state?
Def don't quote me on this though
