Do we think Kasich schedules a legitimate special, or will the seat stay vacant until November?

Kasich probably wants to maximize the number of Republicans in the House, so we will probably get a quick special.

Oddly, Kasich did not set the special election on the same date as the regular election primary. Both the regular election and special election will hold their primary on May 8th, but the special election will take place on August 7th.
Makes sense. A May 8 general would be cutting it a bit close, wouldn't it?

A little, but it's what he did when Boehner resigned, and it would screw over any chance of a Democrat winning – which is already unlikely, even if it looks like Goyal is going to get in – simply due to turnout.

Boehner resigned in October. Tiberi is resigning in January.
