NY Democrats reach for new low in plot to stall House special election

Gov. Kathy Hochul and other Albany Democrats are allegedly planning to delay the special election to fill Elise Stefanik's vacant House seat for potentially months. This move aims to impede Speaker Mike Johnson’s efforts in Congress. The North Country district overwhelmingly leans Republican, yet Democrats propose a delay under the guise of saving costs, provoking accusations of political corruption. With the seat's vacancy impacting constituents across 15 counties, critics argue the delay serves party interests over public service, indicating a disdain for fair electoral practices.

Gov. Hochul and Albany Democrats are scheming to keep soon-to-be UN Ambassador Elise Stefanik's House seat empty for months, hampering Speaker Mike Johnson.

A Republican victory in Stefanik’s North Country district is likely; she won with 61% of the vote in November, highlighting the importance of this seat.
