Reply to comment by Stitchmond in Del. Lamont Bagby receives Democratic nomination in SD-09 by Mad-Lad-of-RVA

First of all, people die from more than just old age or illness. Second, replacing a deceased representative isn’t really about maintaining a balance of power between two parties, it’s about ensuring that all constituents in every district have full representation in government.

Yeah I bet old age is one of the less likely causes of death for a congressperson. I'm not advocating for this I'm just wondering how it would affect government business and the division of power.
