David Nir on Twitter: "Under DeSantis' schedule, #FL20 will go w/o representation for 280 days. By contrast, the last 3 FL specials: #FL19: Radel resigned 1/27/14; special: 6/24/14—148 days #FL13: Young died 10/18/13, special: 3/11/14—144 days #FL19: Wexler resigned 1/3/10; special 4/13/10

This delay is absolute garbage. Congress needs to pass a law (which it can do under its constitutional powers to regulate congressional elections) setting a MAXIMUM amount of time for special elections to be held
