I don't think he'll last long enough for that to be necessary. I am really annoyed that he's doing this - he's not my rep (mine is Ilhan Omar, but I have a few axes to grind with her, too), and AFAIK he's done quite a good job in that capacity, but how the hell does he think he'll get enough support to win a primary, even in MN? He's not nationally known, he wouldn't pick up the prog vote at all, and he's just pissing people off. The process for calling a special election depends on when the vacancy occurs relative to the next primary; it's complicated. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/204D.29
