Nathaniel Rakich: “Take a look at the 10 House seats that have sat vacant the longest since 1997. Nine of them have something in common: Not only did the vacancies take place in the past 10 years, but the representatives who vacated the seats did not belong to the same party as the governors of their states.”
“This lopsided difference suggests that governors are increasingly delaying special elections to deprive their political opponents of a voice and vote in the House.”
