Can this close even if it's technically possible that the special election could be held in time for George Santos to be re-elected?

@GCS Under New York State law, the special election cannot occur in less than seventy days.

predictedNO

@GCS "New York State law stipulates that the governor make a proclamation of a special election within 10 days, with an election occurring “not less than seventy nor more than eighty days” following the proclamation."

George Santos WAS a member of the House of Representatives on January 1, 2024. This should resolve Yes!
What would resolve No is whether or not he's a House representative on January 2.

@kaiemon Today is Dec. 1, 2023, not Jan. 1, 2024.

predictedYES

@PlasmaBallin Oh jeez, I'm stupid

@AlexGraettinger Can be resolved

I've seen reports saying he could be expelled as soon as this week, so I started a related market:
