Poll Confusion

Emblematic of what I am sure is a statewide phenomenon, voters in Hamden this morning have been showing up to the wrong polling place (due to a switch in advance of this election). I was at the polls for 90 minutes this morning and I witnessed 5 voters get sent to their proper polling place (which does compare favorably to the 20 or so people who drove in the exit).

Let's stop this madness. Ned Lamont's website has a tool that allows you to find your polling place simply by entering your name. Of course, this is available to all registered Democrats in Connecticut!

Turnout seemed light in Hamden - more later...

WTIC is airing a "bootleg" Lamont commercial, which has aired on hiphop stations, and it is offensive. Anger, Anger, Anger--That's what Lamont is about.

That voter polling place is weird,
I now know where others of my same name live, wouldn't be hard for an enterprising criminal to do some major ID theft with that tool....

Hey, Thanks Ned, another reason to vote for you!!!

As a republican I would just like to say "thank you, ned lamont" for providing me with my polling location so that I could vote for miriam masullo and steal one of your signs.

you're the best senator we ever had!

Anonymous sign-stealing Republican voting for Masullo... do you actually live in the precinct you voted in or are you planning to move there should Ms. Masullo win the election?

damn. they appear to have changed the program so that it omits the age and home address of the voters. Less valuable stalker info now.

TG, and CT-Husky -

It seems that people throw out these cards without reading them and were surprised that they were voting at St. Rita's instead of at Spring Glen School because they always have voted at Spring Glen...

Doesn't make them dumb, Anon.
