The people of Congressman John Conyers district will have no representation until a special election is decided. That means these hard working people will be taxed but have no voice to express where their monies and values go in the house of the people for at least a few months. Which begs the question why should this occur in our democracy? It is not the fault of the people of this district that their representative felt it was best to step down before his time was up. Here are some solutions that could occur to end this undemocratic process.
(1) GOVERNOR SELECTS- The governor of each state would be able to select a representative to full this position until the results of a special election are determined.
(2) CONGRESSMAN/CONGRESSWOMAN PICKS SUCCESSOR- Those who depart office before their term determine who would be their successor well in advance should this occur (substitute teacher, V.P. etc) before the special election results.
(3) OPPONENT SELECTED- The individual who came in 2nd place in previous election would fill this position until the special election is determined.
