From the AP:
A roller-coaster recount that stretched nearly a week and uncovered significant vote-counting flaws in at least three communities came to an end Tuesday night, confirming [Democrat] Courtney’s general election victory over Rep. Rob Simmons.Recounts in each of the district’s 65 towns gave Courtney the nod, although his election-night margin of 167 votes narrowed to 91, according to results tabulated by town clerks. Nearly 250,000 votes were cast.
God, it feels to do this again: add CT-02 to the big board, Johnny!
The record book for tighest Congressional Election of 2006, so far that is.
Welcome Congressman Joe Courtney!
this now makes it 30 seats officially?
certain Netroots site..LOL. I thought, as others did that CT-02 had already been included on the list of 29 pick-ups (which also included VT-AL). Other people thought the new total was 30. The DCCC website shows 29 with CT-02 & VT-AL checked off. I haven’t counted the checkmarks to verify but here is the link:
a young’un 😉
Thanks!
We’re now well into my 29-38 seat range prediction..LOL.
and we will have true blue New England. Lamont 08!?
Lamont was my first thought, though Lieberman I believe carried this district by at least the same margin as he did Statewide. I can’t see Farrell trying for a third time, amongst other reasons.
Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy-D, who just had a uncessful Dem Primary run for Gov. is in this district. Haven’t heard much substantive buzz about any State Legislators, other Mayors or Selectmen.
