“N.J. and D.C.”

Roll Call offers this editorial (paid subscription required). It begins:

    New Jersey Gov. John Corzine (D) has decreed that no special election will be held until November to fill the House seat vacated by the man he named his successor in the Senate, Bob Menendez (D). This will leave roughly 700,000 residents in the 13th district without representation for nine months. Anyone who is offended by this– as we are–should also remember that this is the plight of the 600,000 citizens of the District of Columbia. And Washington, D.C., has been living with its fate for a lot longer than nine months.
