In the initial vote, Brookhart was certified as the victor over Steck. However, Steck became the first person to successfully challenge a popular election to the Senate in 1926, when the Senate voted to remove Brookhart from office and seat Steck in his place.
As of 2023, this remains the only instance in which a Senator was removed and replaced by his colleagues after he had already been seated for the term.
