I would've figured Klob's seat would be up in November 2017. Wouldn't do to have a one-year term, but I digress.

This is the same as the Minnesota Special Senate Race in our real TL. Rules in Minnesota do not call for a Special Election under the next Statewide General Election which is in November 2018.
