Summary

Voters in New York's 3rd Congressional District are casting ballots in a special election to pick a successor to Republican ex-Rep. George Santos. Democrat Tom Suozzi is facing off against Republican Mazi Pilip in a tight race. Both parties have invested heavily in the district, which could impact the balance of power in the House of Representatives. Long Island, where the district is located, has trended more Republican in recent years. The election is seen as crucial for Democrats to retake the House majority. The candidates are also contending with a major snowstorm that could affect turnout. George Santos was expelled from Congress last year and is facing criminal charges.
