Connecticut GOP Lawmaker Discovered Winner After Race Called for Democrat
Breitbart ^ | 11/11/20

Posted on 11/11/2020 12:15:07 PM PST by Altura Ct.

Connecticut GOP House Rep. Craig Fishbein was declared the loser in the race for his seat until a town clerk found an “error” had caused the race to be called for his Democrat opponent.

Wallingford town clerk Barbara Thompson said Tuesday her office discovered that votes had not been recorded in the state’s reporting system from Yalesville Elementary School, reported CT Mirror.

The school is one of nine polling places in the 90th House District that includes Wallingford and Cheshire.

“I can’t answer if it was a clerical error or a computer error in the elections management system,” Thompson said. “All I know is we caught it yesterday and amended it.”

As of Wednesday morning, unofficial results on the secretary of state’s elections website showed incumbent Fishbein ahead of challenger Jim Jinks, but, according to the Mirror, a recount will be conducted Thursday because of a margin of less than 0.50 percent.

“There’s no circumstance when an error like that is not caught and corrected,” Gabe Rosenberg, a spokesman for the secretary of the state, said.

What, was our voting system created in the middle ages??

What a complete embarrassment it is.

And I think there’s almost as many fraudulent votes as legal ones

Is this a state House seat, or the big House?

I ran for that seat in 1996, getting clobbered by the ungracious Mary Fritz. (R.I.P.)

State House. Fishbein is a big name in Wallingford. His dad (or grandfather) was a well-known attorney there.

How do you miss the blank spot on a list of only nine polling reports?

There are some things that absolutely MUST work as described, and be error free. Parachutes. Condoms. Diving suits. Space suits. Vote tabulation methods. There is no excuse.

"What, was our voting system created in the middle ages??"

Yeah. It's like the Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene where they're calling "Bring out your dead!! Bring out your dead!!" and what they really meant was "Bring out your dead voter's ballots."

Has there ever been an “error” in favor of the Republican candidate?
