This line disturbed me the most, ”It would be important to Kevin that succession for that seat remain in the political family," said Rob Stutzman, a Republican strategist who knows Fong but is not working for his campaign.”

        No. Governor appointment time. A special election right now would just be a waste of money. If this was a Democrat, there wouldn’t even be a suggestion of a special election.

          What does their state Constitution say on the matter? If that’s ambiguous, what about their state laws?

          If these prescribe a situation (which I’m pretty sure they do), that’s what must be done. If that doesn’t make sense, then the above need to be changed.

          Especially in these inflammatory times, it’s important to maintain and follow the rule of law. This is true of both/all sides, and exceptions are problematic.
