Sometimes they win both. When that happens they resign the Senator seat, and the constituents are the ones who are screwed. They either get a selected representative that they may never have voted for in the first place, and/or they get the cost of a special election.
That's true, but I think its a lesser evil in some cases than going through the process, in some states impossible, of removing the candidate's name from the ballot and getting a new candidate and campaign running for that party.
