A special election is scheduled for April 13 in which State Senator Ted Deutch (D) will face off against Ed Lynch (R). FL-19 has never elected a Republican in it's 18-year history. President Obama won the district 65-34 so one would expect Mr. Deutch to win relatively easily.
I'm also assuming that whomever wins will be sworn in and then immediately have to defend the seat in the Nov. 2 elections. Florida's general primary is August 31, so I would imagine that the loser of this special election would have to face the same competition he had for the original nomination (having been proven a loser).
