Art. I, sec. 2, clause 4 of the US Constitution addresses congressional vacancies. It implies that special elections are to be held, however there is space for state law to define and implement the specifics of such an election. On that point I'm uncertain what Iowa Code requires. Leave it to RepubliCons to do their best to rig any election, though.
