First on the fox: Republicans to New York’s The Congress Delegation is in the weapons on the reports that state Democratic leaders are studying the legislative routes to delay special elections to replace representative Elise Stefanik, RN.Y.
The six GOP legislators said that they would request the intervention of the Department of Justice (DOJ) if the alleged legislative maneuver went to the federal law.
“Your clear attempt to play political games to limit republican numbers in the House of Representatives is to overcome, corrupt and undemocratic,” says a letter run by representatives Mike Lawler and Nick Langworthy.
“We ask that you cease all these attempts to change this law and, in preparation for this conspiracy and corrupt event, which clearly threatens the constitutional rights of North -American citizens, we will also warn the Department of Justice.”

The letter was also signed by New York Republican representatives, Nicole Malliotakis, Nick Lalota, Andrew Garbarino and Claudia Tenney.
His pressure on New York Democratic leaders is endorsed by the president of the house Mike Johnson, R-La. of New York. “
“They will try to disassociate more than 750,000 neoyorcan people living in the 21st district. It is unconscious,” he said.
New York legislators in the Senate and the State Assembly met last week to discuss a change of rules that could maintain the empty Stefanik seat until at least June, according to the New York Post.
Stefanik was presented to be President Donald Trump’s United States ambassador to the United Nations and is expected to easily approve a Senate Confirmation vote. She and the national security advisor, Mike Waltz, from the departure of the congress, leave the house with a majority of the largest GOP in the razor, without leaving the republican dissent to pass any law without Democratic support.
The letter said that Stefanik could confirm “as soon as this week”, which would leave the residents of the 21st New York Congress district without representation in the chamber until the seat is filled.

The deep red district will remain in republican control, as is the case of the old Waltz Florida seat.
While the Governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, quickly acted to set special elections for April, New York Governor Kathy Hochul It has been silent.
By virtue of current state law, Hochul has 10 days after Stefanik’s resignation to call special elections within 70 to 80 days.
But the change of rule would consolidate the date of special elections with the primary career of June, allegedly on behalf of the saving of resources and time.

“Your claims that make this be profitable or promoted equity are rupical and will do nothing but leave all neoyorcan people in the 21st district without any representation in the House for additional months,” GOP legislators wrote.
“Your scheme to alter the special election calendar is a serious abuse of power that is more similar to the electoral processes of authoritarian countries than anything we see in the United States.”
They argued that any delay would involve the constitution clauses when filling the vacancies of the houses and the precedent of the Supreme Court.
“Any delay or postponement when calling special elections to occupy a vacancy in the House of Representatives is not only undemocratic, but also unconstitutional,” they wrote. “It would be a reminiscence of other failed efforts on the New York election in recent years, such as Gerrymander’s unconstitutional attempts in the New York Congress districts.”

The letter also cited a judgment of the New York State Appeal Court of 2009 that special elections to occupy a vacancy should produce in the “shortest space of reasonably possible time”.
“The citizens of the 21st District of New York Congress have the right constitutionally right to representation in the chamber and it is our hope that these reports will have little basis in reality. If not, we urge you firmly to abandon this absurd and shameful scheme to deny the Representation for more than 750,000 New York and maintain the current laws of the state elections, “the legislators wrote.
Fox News Digital contacted the Hochul office, as well as the offices of the President of the New York State Assembly, Carl Heastie and the leader of most Senate State, Andrea Stewart-Cousins. .
