with a small, although spread out, population. I'm wondering what the mechanics would be of holding a quickie election when a Senator gets elected to another office or is deceased. Most people would need sufficient time to build a campaign staff and raise donations.

Or, they could hold a free-for-all like California did when they recalled Gray Davis. That would favor famous people like Schwartzenegger.

On the surface, it sounds like a good idea, but like everything else, the devil is in the details.
