On March 31, 2009, Democrat Scott Murphy overcame a once 21 point deficit in the polls to win a majority of the vote in the NY-20 special election. This is the seat formerly held by Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, appointed to fill the U.S. Senate seat of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Republicans outnumber democrats in this district by 70,000 votes. Murphy’s margin of victory is now 65 votes. The Republicans are flying in lawyers from around the country with the aim overturning these results. In addition, they've already claimed that Democrats were trying to "steal" the election, even though it was the Democrat who finished the night with more votes.
We have to keep them from lawyering away a hard fought victory in NY-20. You can help.
Here’s the link if any of you are inclined to help.
