Election day in Conn for local offices
By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Nov 3, 2009 | In News, Town & City Politics | 10 feedbacks »
(WTNH) – Connecticut’s 162 cities and towns are holding local elections today, and depending on the outcome some could have new leadership at the top.
131 cities and towns are electing Mayors and First Selectmen today.
There are more than two million registered voters in Connecticut, but historically, only a fraction come out to vote in a municipal election year. That’s too bad, says Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, because these elections set the agenda for schools and road repair and all the local spending issues.
Polls are open from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. tonight.
When you go out to vote bring ID and remember Connecticut uses the optical scanning machines so there is no more pulling levers.

The way things are going with the economy if I were a Democrat I would hang it up.How much ear and visual evidence does one need to see and hear the failier of an administration built on sand disolving before our eyes to see and ears to hear.Keeps up it will be ghost town u.s.a.

Remember we don't have the kind of ID that would prevent illegal aliens, dead people and non-resident fraud from voting. Our great and honest Secretary of the State who is a Democratic Shrill refused to issue voter ID cards that would minimize fraud....

'Remember we don't have the kind of ID that would prevent illegal aliens, dead people and non-resident fraud from voting.'
We also do not have a system that keeps people from disenfranchisement.

They'd also go against the Voting Rights Act, because a fee would have been attached, therefore violating Section II.
'vote for such Progressives, there are some good democrats, but no good progressives.'
Based on what logic, proof, etc? Exactly, you have none.
For hmm, I am alive, a legal citizen and have a job with a non-government organization. So, your mass generalization is comical, you're like Chaplin.

Anybody who believes that any politician from any party isn't going to raise your taxes by a small or large percentage sometime during their term is quite delusional. How do people think improvements they want in their towns and cities are paid for? The money trees on local city & town hall properties? Get real people. I don't like taxes either, but they are a bitter pill we have to swallow.

People should be ashamed of themselves with the VERY poor turnout.
EVERYONE stood in line for the presidential voting but I barely saw anyone this morning. Oh wait, DeStefano was at the polls this morning and all I wanted to do was smack the smirk off of his face.
God help us....we'll never be rid of this mayor.
