The Wall Street Journal: NY Governor Cuomo's bill would extend NY congressional vacancy for military voters

"[New York] Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday proposed extending the time frame for military voting in special elections with a bill that could delay the process of filling western New York's vacant congressional seat by at least several weeks. 

Cuomo said the legislation is needed to allow enough time for military ballots to be mailed and counted in the 26th Congressional District race, in compliance with recent federal law. ...

The bill, once passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor, would take effect immediately, Cuomo's office said, but it is unknown when state lawmakers will act on it."
