CT-02: It’s Over–Courtney Wins!

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!

  1. 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:

  2. 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.
