U.S. District Court Declines to Require New York To Move Primaries for Statewide Office from June to August

On May 25, U.S. District Court Judge Paul A. Engelmayer declined to order the state of New York to move the primaries for statewide office, Assembly, and local office, from June 28 to August 23. There will thus be two primary dates in New York state this year, because the U.S. House and State Senate primaries will be in August.

The judge issued a one-sentence order. Probably later he will explain his reasoning.
