Bysiewicz certifies Connecticut election results

Hartford (AP) – Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz has certified all the results of the Nov. 4 elections.

The official tallies show that slightly more than 80 percent of registered voters in Connecticut cast ballots. That’s the highest voter turnout percentage since 1992.

Connecticut voters chose Democrat Barack Obama for president by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

Technically, voters chose seven electors for president and vice president. They will meet in the state Senate on Dec. 15 to officially cast their ballots for president and vice president.

Similar Electoral College votes will be cast in state capitols throughout the country on that day. The Electoral College vote will be counted in a special joint session of Congress on Jan. 8.

So Obama is not officially the messiah yet?

I do not have a warm and fuzzy feeling that Susan Bysiewicz would be objective and honest about our votes. She is too partisan. After listening to her on PBS awhile back, one can not help conclude that she is not looking out for the Republican or independent voter best interest. He explanation for voter ID's is very Democrat and anti-Repulican.
When she accepts voter ID's, I will consider her objective and honest.

Susan Bysiewicz will likely be a candidate for Governor or Attorney General in 2010. Joining Dan Malloy, Jim Amann and The Perennial Anti War's choice Ned Lamont. Quite a Democratic Field to choose from. Anyone but Ned Lamont is ok with me.

I agree with the voter ID because it would go a long way to prevent fraud.

Isn't Susan B. the one who plays musical parties - she ran as a Republican and when she won switched parties? Is she the one?
