President Trump named New York’s 21st Congressional Representative Elise Stefanik as his pick for U.N. Ambassador.
.... Snip....
Unsurprisingly, recent actions by Democrat lawmakers in the New York State legislature in league with Gov. Hochul are designed to delay the special election for Rep. Elise Stefanik’s soon-to-be-vacant seat in the 21st Congressional District.
Proposals are being made to extend the timeframe for the Governor to call a Special Election beyond the current 10 days from a vacancy in addition to extending that Special Election to a date in the distant future such as coupling a Special Election with a June primary or the next November election.
According to Hochul, this is all being done under the guise of reducing election administration costs and increase voter turnout. But since when is money an object to one of the bluest and highest taxed states in the Union?
Further, are the people of NY’s 21st really willing to give up representation for some vague fist full of dollars saved on administering an election?
This is just one more manifestation of the political corruption saturating New York State politics as Democrats in control seek to sacrifice Constitutional representation of the people on the altar of their political power. Who will end it?
Resetting special election controls is a baldfaced effort for New York Democrats to interfere in Federal politics, reducing the already slim Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

This is why she has not resigned yet
The GOP better knock the crap out of a few of these fags and fill her seat.
It was a stupid idea to put her seat at risk and I said so the very day she was nominated by Trump.
Does the republican party have any plans or strategies to speed up the election to replace the Stefanik seat?
Simple solution:
Cancel her appointment, pull out of the U.N. cut ALL their funding, evict them from our building, and deport them all.
I agree that the appointment of Rs out of the House when you have a few seat majority was a stupid move. Stefanik should withdraw her name from consideration (who would want to be Ambassador to the UN anyway) and put an end to this potential disaster.
Apparently not. I see not one incling of any effort to fight and preserve her seat by the GOP.
Section 2
....
When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.
....
Section 4
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chosing Senators.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.
I tend to agree. She’s valuable right now and she’s an asset.
Why were Republicans thinning their already thin House majority by executive branch appointments? When the appointments were being made, they were probaby too distracted by their victory dance.
Arrest AOC for her aiding illegals. Lock her away awaiting trial.

Agree...Trump can appoint someone else as ambassador.
Obliterating the Deep State and draining the swamp has a chance to actually change the way Congress looks in that there may actually be hundreds of traitors in Congress that may find themselves out of a seat of govt soon, and in a seat next their defense attorney
Yeah, considering it’s the People’s Republic of NY, I’m not surprised at the shenanigans.
She needs to keep that seat and take the position later, when we have a strong grip on the House. Someone else can fill in that ambassador position.
PREACH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stefanik is more important to the country by remaining in the House. The UN is a nothing burger, that we should quit and kick them out of the country.
She should stay in the seat and a Freeper should be named ambassador to the UN.
Old news GP you are a day late and dollar short. The rodents already gave up on this stunt.
