Special Election?

I am confused as to why there would be a special election of any kind with the names  Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat on the ballot they both violated their marriages, their word ,with lying ,cover up freak story and they think they can serve society? Please, In Michigan it’s still on the books that Adultery is a Felony. Nobody wants a leader this shallow.
