This Would Cause Republican Heads To Explode

Al Franken stands up and says he is resigning, and at the end of his press conference, just as he's about to leave, he says, "Oh, by the way, one more thing. I just wanted to let everyone know that, appropos of nothing, and just as a complete aside, Hillary Clinton has taken up residence in Minnesota and has been living there since November 2016. I wish Governor Dayton good luck in finding a qualified replacement for me. Good day."

seat. The Lt. Governor is a person who has NO DESIRE to fill Franken's full term through 2020, so that guarantees that a special election is almost a certainty:
