I don't think you could just shift those in the line of succession to the "next job" as you couldn't take Tina Kotek and make her a state senator. So would you have a special election for SOS then, or would Kate Brown be able to name her temporary successor? Knute Buehler might be licking his chops then, and he quite frankly would scare me as SOS. Vote by mail might go away!
