Early voting is underway across New York state in a rare August primary for congressional and state Senate races. As GusoffTV reports, congressional primaries on Long Island could have national implications.
Having Primary day in August is confusing and on Long Island, and the hardest part may be figuring out what congressional district you're in."I'm sure a lot of people aren't aware. I try to pay attention and I wasn't even aware of it all," another said.
Redistricting made substantial changes. For example, 1st District lines moved further west and the 2nd District moved east. The 3rd District no longer has any part of Suffolk County and now dips into the Massapequas, where freshman Congressman Andrew Garbarino is the Island's only incumbent. With Zeldin running for governor and Suozzi and Rice vacating their seats, there are three wide-open seats.
At stake is no less than the control of Congress, giving Long Islanders a rare voice on the national stage.
