NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement:
"This legislation is designed to permit the Governor to achieve maximum partisan advantage when calling special elections this year for both the House of Representatives and for the State Legislature.
"This is an anti-democratic power grab by Albany Democrats, drunk on the power of one-party rule, to set elections whenever it benefits them, even if that means New Yorkers go without due representation in government.
"Democrats posted this legislation on a Friday evening like the cowards they are, hoping New Yorkers aren't paying attention to this electoral heist. But we are - and Republicans at the state and federal level will use every tool at our disposal to fight this corruption. We call on the Department of Justice to begin an immediate investigation into this subversion of democracy - and we'll see the Democrats in court."
