Judge Sides With Paterson On NY-29 Special
Republicans in NY-29 have lost their lawsuit that sought to force Gov. David Paterson to immediately call a special election to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Rep. Eric Massa instead of his (extremely confusing) plan to hold one concurrent with the general election.
From US District Court Judge David Larimer’s decision:
“So, the issue now is whether this Court can mandate that the Governor call a special election forthwith, or at least sooner than the time selected by the Governor for holding the special election. Under the circumstances presented here, I do not believe that such a mandatory injunction against the Governor is warranted.”
