Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Last month, New York State Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy filed suit against Governor Cuomo calling on him to call a special election in NY27 to replace Chris Collins soon. That suit is scheduled to be heard in Rochester today.

Ostrowski says it appears the attorney general wasn't prepared, and he calls that disingenous, saying it's not a complicated case. "It seems like they're stalling, and they definitely want this for the presidential primary to jerry rig it," believes Ostrowski.

Ostrowski notes while other congressmen can handle administrative matters, constituents in NY27 are not having their voices heard. "I think the governor is the one silencing the voice," says Ostrowski.
