Technically, I think the proper thing to do would be to have a special election that was coincident with the regular election.  It would be two seperate elections, which would probably have the same candidates, but not necessarily, as the seven day rule doesn't apply to special elections IIRC, and the voters could choose to elect someonw such as Akno21 in the special election who lives in the old district, but not the new district.

Lets just have the new election count as the special election....there's no point in having a special election that's for a such a short term.

The problem is that the new District 1 and the old District 1 aren't the same.  I could see having just a single vote only if the ballots were counted twice.  In the first count, voters of Maryland, DC, and Delaware would join those of PA and NY for the special election for who would be Senator until January 6 (when the new Senators are to be sworn in) and the second count would be of the voters of just PA and NY to determine who would represent District 1 after January 6.
