GREAT NECK — New York’s 3rd con­gres­sion­al dis­trict will hold a spe­cial elec­tion after Con­gress removed its rep­re­sen­ta­tive, George San­tos, due to evi­dence of fraud and libel.

Elec­tions in the dis­trict usu­al­ly hap­pen in Novem­ber, like most oth­er elec­tions. But New York’s third con­gres­sion­al dis­trict recent­ly saw a his­toric event when Con­gress vot­ed 311–114 to expel Rep. San­tos.
