| Description | A Superior Court judge Wednesday declared a General Assembly primary a tie. That means there will be a new primary in the Fifth District race for the Democratic nomination.
The district covers parts of Hartford and Windsor.
Candidates Leo Canty and Brandon McGee were tied going into the courtroom where the judge opened an absentee ballot which had gone uncounted because the voter was mistakenly marked “deceased.”
But instead of deciding the election, the last uncounted vote went to the third candidate, Don Trinks, who had finished well behind the two frontrunners. |
