Time to bring back special elections…
Agreed. But state legislators are loathe to enact a special elections’ law where “we the people” can have a say in who represents us because of the cost (especially considering how many legislators leave before the end of there terms). Better to have a politburo choose replacements for the club than use democratic means.
“More than one out of every five current members of the Indiana General Assembly first joined the legislature via private caucuses, rather than general elections in their districts.“

Another proof that the legislators choose their constituents, rather than the other way around.
It goes hand in hand with extremely partisan gerrymandering.
