{news} Re: vote results: how Green is your town?

[David Bedell]

I got the results from the Cromwell Registrar of Voters (see below).  As
suspected, results reported by the Secretary of the State were incorrect.
Steve Fournier got 146 votes, not 11, which is 2.11%, not 0.16%.  And the
Working Families Party got 153 votes which were either not reported, or were
reported as Democratic votes.

I've reported this to the SOTS.  Let's see if they publish corrected,
certified results.

Dear Cromwell registrars:

I saw  published election results that John Larson beat Joe Visconti
4,646-2,130 in Cromwell.  Can you tell me, in addition, how many votes were
cast for Steve Fournier (Green), and how many of Larson's votes were cast on
the Working Families Party line?  I am trying to assess the impact of
third-party voting in CT.

Thank you for your assistance.
