One Million New Yorkers Are Unrepresented in Albany

After Bronx Assemblyman Eric Stevenson was convicted on bribery charges Monday, his seat became the 11th vacancy at the New York State legislature.

That means over 1 million people in the state are without representation at the statehouse.

In this interview, reporter Karen DeWitt said the issue is affecting people all over the state, and Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has to call for special elections, has no plans to do so. "If there are no special elections, all those vacancies will continue until January, because there will be no elections until November," she said. "That is a whole year without representation for these people."
