She says the judges in those two cases ultimately gave her the discretion to place the latest four candidates on the ballot, as long as there is no evidence of fraud or the likelihood of administrative problems.

But isn't the SoS's arbitrarily placing these four names on the ballot fraud itself, if they did not earn those spots themselves?

Oh, I'm sorry...I'm beginning to use logic. Here in CT politics that isn't allowed.

Some 30 or so years ago, I was a candystriper at the Masonic Home in Wallingford along with Representatives Mary Mushinsky of Wallingford. She seemed like a nice kid back then, shame what can happen to a person.

As long as she did not deny this to any republicans, the courts will give her a pass. The courts consistently rule against administrative details in favor of more choice for voters. We all know she would not have done this for the GOP but there is really no way to prove that.

Bookmarked.

in GA one cycle ago, the (democrat) sec of state allowed the (former republican) candidate to WAIT outside the filing office until 15 minutes before the deadline - while the rest of the potential republican candidates for that spot thought HE HAD ALREEADY filed as a republican!

Then, literally at the last minute on the last day of filing, he filed as a democrat, facing NO republican opposition, and, of course, no republican opposition.

It ended up backfiring: After a LOT of personal campaigning house-by-house by a enraged independent woman (a non politician) in the area, SHE WON!
