Though three California senators have been suspended, none of them have resigned from their posts. So what happens to the millions of constituents living in their districts?

The California senate recently voted to suspend three democratic senators, all of whom are embroiled in criminal cases.

San Francisco senator Leland Yee was indicted on charges of illegal arms deals, Montebello senator Ron Calderon on charges of taking bribes, and Baldwin Hills senator Rod Wright was convicted for lying about where he lives.

Though all three have been suspended, none of them have resigned from their posts. So what happens to the millions of constituents living in their districts?
