Ed Feigenbaum pointed me to this Indianapolis Star article involving what happens under Indiana law when an elected candidate for office is declared ineligible because of a prior felony conviction. The court ruled that the loser---in this case, the incumbent---gets to take office for the entire term. Apparently Indiana's law has no provision for a special election.
