Dan Malloy has defeated Republican Tom Foley to become the first Democrat in two decades to be elected governor of Connecticut.
The Associated Press on Friday reinstated its call of Malloy as the winner of the governor's race.
The AP initially called Malloy the winner on Wednesday, after Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said her preliminary count showed Malloy had won by 3,103 votes, but withdrew the call Wednesday night when its vote count, with all but a handful of precincts reporting, showed Foley with a narrow lead.
Bridgeport elections officials handed the final numbers over to Bysiewicz on Friday afternoon.
Thanks library user.
Obviously *this* is Sarah Palin’s fault too. /sarc
Foley is actually a good guy. Not all RINOs are bad
Bridgeport is the Detroit of CT. Like Detroit, that reports its election results last in Michigan, the 'Rats wait to see what they're going to need and come up with the votes. They always manage to find enough votes to put them over the top.
Question??? There is no question at all. The only question is how can we turn this around and find the evidence. I suggest that what we need to do is go over the ballets and the records of who voted in just one fairly large city that has a university very, very carefully. We need to spend the money and find out if each and every vote casted in that city is legitimate to the point of cross checking the college student’s votes with the locations of their parents homes and find out if they voted twice. We need to find out if each person that said they voted is a legal citizen or if they are on parole. We need to find out if they are dead or if possible if they even in deed did vote. We need to take the election apart in just one suspect city and find out just what went on. We need to find out just how much cheating is going on. Whatever mechanisms for cheating are going on in that city you can be sure are going on in countless places.
It wouldn't’t surprise me if unbelievably countless elections are lost not because of votes but because of vote fraud. We MUST get a firm grip on this situation and put it to a stop. This has to be our number one priority and we must do all we can and put as much of our resources on this as necessary. This is where our battle lies, plain and simple. It time we get our heads out of the sand and stand up and be counted!
2. NO MORE of this sh*t of the Republican areas reporting early.
3. EVERY DISTRICT reports its totals simultaneously.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION for lateness... MILITARY BALLOTS. Mandatory Federal prison sentence for all violators!!!
We always hear a vague statement that more votes were found, but we never hear any really specific details of how they came to be lost in the first place, who lost them, or who found the lost votes and why they were not found until later.
I would certainly like the details, so I can further evaluate whether I think fraud happened.
We never hear the details. I wonder why?
The difference is that we did all we could to fight it. We have to do this in every election that is close that the dams end up winning because THEY CHEAT!
The GOP needs to learn how to win in overtime. Every time the score is tied after regulation play, the commie ‘RATS send in their ‘RAT fixers with their “bag of ballots” and the GOP candidate loses. Where’s OUR “bag of ballots”?
We have to demand the details.
No kidding. They ALWAYS report early. Something really, really stinks.
Any word on a recount or an examination of where the “winning” ballots actually came from.....and when?
Or are the pubs just going to lie down and take it, as usual?
Never mind. I already know the answer.
Why don’t we fix these chronic problems in certain urban precincts? Are poll workers and election officials in these areas just incompetent? Or do these problems merely provide a convenient excuse to take the time necessary to manufacture wrong votes?
Brady in Illinois has NOT conceded the Governor’s election. He is behind 19.000+ but there may be 50,000 absentee/military votes not counted yet. Suffice it to say though that it doesn’t look good for us: I’m sure the Dems already have ‘found’ boxes of Dem votes in the wings.
Brady was polling 5-6 pts ahead. I don’t know what the he— happened...
You mean keeping the polls open an extra two hours longer in a democrat held city might be cheating since all the other polls closed?
I don’t necessarily subscribe to the idea that there *are* RINOs — other than people who only support the Republican Party when it suits them. :’)
I live here and I certainly care. And I’m very pissed off right now. I attempted to contact the Republican Governors Association about what support they’d be providing but haven’t received a response.
In short, this is complete bullcrap. For certain our AG sure as hell won’t be doing anything about it.
If I hear of one Foley supporter complain about the higher taxes that are surely coming I will have to smack them upside the head.
Ah yes, the old “rainy day completed ballots” trick! - Don Adams
Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything.
Oh you better believe it. Palm Beach was going to cook the books but Rick’s lawyers showed up around 11:45 and so did some GOP lawyers. I guess at that point they decided going to prison wasn’t worth it. Damn those prying eyes.
