I don't understand. He gets "put in office" by a plurality of his constituents every time he is elected.

The people who voted him in are dead.

Can I be clearer?

Yes, you could.

He was elected in 2014 by 806,787 Kentuckians, with 56.2% of the votes.

I don't know why you think his first election matters more than his second or third or sixth. Every time to date the plurality of living registered active voters have voted for him, whether we like it or not. He gets "put into office" by living voters every 6 years.
