My take: The GOP has a physical majority. After Democrats are replaced in those seats, they clearly would not. There is no question who is in charge right now because republicans have a physical majority. But the real question is whether the GOP should be allowed to schedule out the special elections later simply so they can keep power longer. I don’t see a court siding with them on that.
