In the special election on Tuesday to fill the seat of expelled Congressman George Santos, Democrat Tom Suozzi and Republican Mazi Pilip have cast their ballots, aiming to sway undecided voters. The election, which has seen the end of early voting on Sunday, is pivotal as it could alter the narrow majority held by House Republicans. Suozzi, backed by the NY Daily News Editorial Board and a strong labor presence in Queens, is campaigning as the candidate for change. Pilip's inconsistent position on abortion has been criticized. The outcome is anticipated to reflect the suburban voter mindset and is a bellwether for the national battle for the House majority, with potential implications for the 2024 elections. Additionally, the candidates now face snow as a new potential obstacle ahead of the vote.

Great response today at the doors for @Tom_Suozzi! Only three days left to vote in NY-3! 🗳️🗳️🗳️ https://t.co/Rfyfb7z6E4
Although George Santos is no longer representing the voters in parts of Queens and the Gold Coast of Long Island, @MKramerTV asked them how his expulsion from Congress impacted their district. https://t.co/Ldkrpv1rY8
.@RepTomSuozzi is billing himself as the candidate for “change” equipped to changing “things that are happening in Washington DC,” compared to his GOP opponent @maziforcongress. Suozzi is the former NY-3 congressman. https://t.co/rDT7y275IV
My savvy South Eastern Queens friend tells me for @RepTomSuozzi to win he needs to “blow” out Mazi in Queens & garner at least 40% in Nassau County (he said Suozzi is unpopular in Nassau where he served 4 many years) I don’t see a blowout for Tom in that part of Queens

HARRY SIEGEL | There’s little debate between Suozzi and Pilip If you’re a voter considering your vote for the House seat vacated by George Santos, take the advice of my colleagues on the Daily News Editorial Board and back Tom Suozzi, @harrysiegel writes. https://t.co/ZdHFtyZVVD

EDITORIAL | Suozzi is the right choice: Pilip keeps wavering on abortion When it comes to abortion bans, the only way to be sure is to avoid this conundrum altogether. Fortunately, you can do that simply by voting for Suozzi instead, our Board writes. https://t.co/sWAaffBkSw
