New York State Democrats Want to Delay Special Election to Replace Stefanik Until November<\/strong><\/a>
The party that claims to want to “defend democracy” has decided to abandon the struggle in New York.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\u201cAbandon\u201d it? Close, but no donut. They\u2019re assaulting<\/em> it, waging war<\/em> against it, for reasons which are about to become apparent.<\/p>\n\nNew York state Democrats are going to pass a bill that allows Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul to delay scheduling special elections until November.

And if you think that Hochul\u2019s shifty move is just to give her and her minions extra time to ensure that the \u201celections\u201d will be free, fair, and above-board, I have some ocean-front property in central Arizona for sale you really ought to consider buying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
