Because he's too scared Democrats will win them.

He's so terrified of the upcoming blue wave that he's defying his own states laws and refusing to hold any more special elections so his party can hold on to power for a little longer. How sad and pathetic.

This is shitty. It's also the exact thing Andrew Cuomo is doing here in NY. Except he's trying to prevent his own party from winning.

Cuomo refused to hold special elections in time for the state budget process because he's worried about Democrats winning

Why would the government hold special elections? There isnt a scandal. Just because the dems cry doesnt mean they deserve special treatment.

So you should just leave vacant seats vacant and let thousands go without representation?

Cuomo and his father have generally leaned towards helping Republicans gain power in the legislature so that they don't have to veto progressive legislation.

We also have a group of Democrats in the state senate who caucus with the GOP so as to give them a majority.

Wow. I live in NJ, I've been jealous of NY and their Democrat governor for 7 years because of Christie. Not anymore though, Phil Murphy is a real liberal.

Dems are super scrambled right now and it's a total rat race for who is going to challenge Walker

"I'm not Trump" can work for special elections, but the candidates for governor all seem to be echoing "I'm not Walker" and I don't know if that is going to work.

"I'm not Christie" worked extremely well in NJ this past November.

Christie shilled very hard for Trump though iirc, much more than Walker

Also, voters already moved on from Act 10 after the special election. Not sure if NJ voters were still thinking about Bridgegate when they voted

Yes, as do most of the residents of your state going by his approval rating.

gop should be glad the SC is killing the gerrymandering in WI this year

if it were left alone the GOP might get 0 seats in 2020 after dems institute their own gerrymander

that'd be funny

bad and undemocratic but funny

LOL imagine actually believing the "blue wave" is going to be a thing. No, running on Russian bogeymen and calling everyone a racist is not going to win any elections.

What makes you so sure that Kennedy is going to make the right decision?


sotomayor and ginsberg dissenting on the decision not to expedite the NC case

they're about to pass a huge sweeping decision that annihilates gerrymanders around the nation and fucks the GOP right in that part of the asshole that makes mike pence gay again
