Hearing Set in New York Lawsuit Over Whether State Must Hold Special Election for U.S. House

A U.S. District Court in Buffalo will hear Fox v Paterson on May 25. This is the lawsuit over whether New York state must call a special election to fill the vacant U.S. House seat, 29th district. The district has had no representative since March, when incumbent Eric Massa resigned. The state says it will hold a special election in November 2010. The plaintiffs say the U.S. Constitution guarantees them representation before then.

See this story. Judge David Larimer, a Bush Sr. appointee, has already rejected the state’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit. The state says an election in late June or early July is too expensive.
