(New York Times) — Nearly two weeks after Election Day, New York is having a “hanging chad” moment. Republican and Democratic Partyleaders in Washington have dispatched lawyers and staff members to help candidates in Syracuse and Suffolk County still fighting for Congressional seats, and this week both candidates vying for the Long Island seat are headed to Washington, laying claim to being the district’s officially elected representative. Appeals for money have been sent out across the country to help in the battle. “Please rush a contribution of $5, $10 or more to help our voter protection efforts to keep the fight going,” the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee wrote in a recent fund-raising pitch, while some of the political action committees that helped Republicans win elections are now helping pay their postelection legal bills.
