New Haven, Conn. (WTNH) New Haven voting officials were overwhelmed with more than 1,000 people who showed up the polls today to register to vote.
Large crowds developed at several polling locations across the city, including the Edgewood School in Westville, City Hall, and the Nathan Hill School in the East Shore neighborhood.
A New Haven Registrar of Voters told News 8 that crowds they never anticipated would show up on Election Day to register to vote, did show up. They said the mood was peaceful, and people were having fun, but tensions rose when the people in line discovered the 8:00 p.m. cutoff time.
According to New Haven election officials, anyone that was not inside the door to be processed to register to vote by 8:00 p.m. could be turned away. By 8:15 p.m., many people that were standing in line for hours were venting their frustrations.
More details will be posted to this story as they become available.
Good.
same day register and vote is asking for fraud
They got to vote plenty of times in 2010. That’s how Malloy stole it.
Sanctuary City - Malloy just assured his win.
So - let’s wait till closing time on election day to register.
But our buses got stuck in traffic!
But not good if you were one of the true voters who is registered to vote, but you don’t get to. No one should be able to register on election day. But if they are going to allow it then at least send them to the end of the line.
Some places have weeks worth of early voting and you can register anytime. If you can’t make the deadline on election day then tough sh*t!! This same day registering and early voting is crap on a stick.
“same day register and vote is asking for fraud”
Depends on how it is done. It seems to work here in Idaho, But you also have to show a picture ID to vote here.
Any Democrat win anywhere to me is a fraud.
I cant believe connecticut thinks they have to lie to get liberals to win....
"Don't take away my right to vote for free stuff!"
I HATE living in this state. Absolutely hate it. Connecticut is lost firever. New England is lost forever, forget New Hampshire. This sucks...
At least we got the US Senate back thanks to the good people in OTHER STATES. Thank God for that.
This is just the beginning...EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT IS AN ENEMY OF THE REPUBLIC AND MUST BE DEFEATED.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SOCIALIST CONSERVATIVES MUST BE DESTROYED!!!
I'm so disgusted with Connecticut. PLUS Chappaquiddick Ted's son won a local race in CT, so now WE have to breathe in polluted Kennedy hot air here. GRRR
SO happy Gov. Paul LePage kept his seat in Maine!! He's a good guy...
Hello! Baseball season was done by Mother’s Day in these parts. :)
Oh goody...you get a Kennedy too!!!
Yeah, NH’s gone. Nice that LaPage won in ME.
And Baker may not be much, but he’s not a RAT.
I share your pain... With the cost of living up & property values down in CT, it makes it hard to even leave this state, we were considering NH, but they’re lost too, sigh... I use to have hope in the CT Tea Party, but they lost their mojo back in 2012, courtesy of both the Dems and the CT GOP... Like you all, I am ecstatic for the many House, Senate, and Governor victories, but it’s all bittersweet...
Blessings, HK
