Lawyers for the parties have filed briefs with Superior Court Judge William Clark who will decide if a new Democratic primary is in order following Mayor Joe Ganim’s 251-vote win over John Gomes.
Follow up briefs are due on Friday so the judge could issue a decision early next week several days from the Nov. 7 general election which lawyers say will take place no matter the judge’s order.
Either way the losing side will appeal to the Connecticut Supreme Court.

Primary do-over, preceded and followed by total D-Party chaos… The political tea-leaves will be blighted and unreadable after this ruling…. Will it come before November 7? If it doesn’t, consider the Judge’s position “conflicted”… (The read-out of the Judge’s decision will put a real zinger in this election — if it comes in a timely way…)
Well, a SIMPLE fix to Port’s AB game would be not to give out the AB application all, but to allow Candidates, paid operatives/volunteers a mailing AB address card to go out canvassing with and have them bring them back to the registers office and have them mail it out. It’s not a 100% frauld proof but it will change the game. 🙂
Since no one really cares for that, stop whining after the game, running to the courts to overturn/redo, and make the city look like a poster child for corruption. 🙂
