On May 2, some New York voters filed a federal lawsuit, asking the federal court to use the U.S. House district boundaries that the highest State Court recently declared to violate the State Constitution. De Gaudenar v Kosinski, s.d., 1:22cv-3534. Here is the Complaint. It says that some years ago, another federal court ordered the state to hold its congressional primary in June, not September, because federal law requires overseas absentee ballots to be mailed at least 45 days before any primary or election.

Of course, New York can hold an August primary and there is still time to mail the overseas ballots. Some states still hold congressional primaries in early September, and they manage to comply with the federal law. Thanks to PoliticalWire for this news.
