Snark aside, the reason the ConCon opted against special elections for the House is that it s with the proportionality of the chamber and basically ensures the majority party (in terms of the electorate) will fill vacancies in the House. If you want to provide for instances where a party doesn't have a chair capable of making an appointment, that is easily resolved through statutory reforms.

What if you made it so in janky situations, the Speaker of the House appoints a member who was registered in the vacating Rep's party at the time the vacancy arose? Just a thought
I would support this.
