On May 3, a lawsuit was filed by some voters in New York’s U.S. House district 29. It is Larry Fox v Governor David Paterson, in the U.S. District Court, western district, 10-cv-6240.
Congressman Eric Massa resigned in March, and voters in the 29th district have been without representation in the U.S. House since then. The Governor has said he won’t call a special election because the state can’t afford it. Thus, unless the lawsuit wins, the voters of the 29th district will have been without representation for nine months.
What regime is able to have a special election with the LEAST notice – in days ???
——–
Const Amdt –
Candidates/incumbents have a rank order list to fill any vacancy. NO more very costly special elections.
This is the NEW AGE of EVIL — terrorists, lunatics, etc.
The FULL STRENGTH legislative power must be available 24/7 to deal with such EVIL monsters.
And how much will the lawsuit cost them?
