It is 8:44 and I’m down in Washington, waiting to hear some news from Connecticut. Several friends promised to Tweet me when there were election results, but I haven’t received any tweets. The Secretary of State’s Site doesn’t have any information yet. News 12 has some good information that Kim called me with and The Hartford Courant has some good initial results. They’ve called the 1st CD for Larson and the 3rd CD for DeLauro.

The 2nd CD is showing incumbent Joe Courtney leading Sean Sullivan at 64 to 32 with only 8% in. The fifth CD is showing Chris Murphy leading David Cappiello 52 to 46 with only 5% in. The most interesting race is the 4th CD, where with 16% in, challenger Jim Himes is upsetting Congressman Chris Shays 63 -36. However, that is only with the large cities reporting.

In the State Senate races, there aren’t a lot of results yet, but a couple interesting developments. The 22nd State Senate Race with 19% in has Anthony Musto taking back Bill Finch’s old seat from Robert Russo 66-34. Even more striking is with 17% of the votes counted, Democrat Mark Diamond is leading Republican Scott Franz in the 36th State Senate District. This is a district that had been held by Republican State Senator Bill Nickerson for ages. There had been some in fighting between Stamford and Greenwich Democrats about who should be the candidate and Mark Diamond did not qualify for public funding. It is worth noting, however, that the only districts reporting are from Stamford where Mr. Diamond lives, and none of the Greenwich Districts where Mr. Franz and Mr. Nickerson live have reported.

Update: News 12 is reporting "Voters at Reed Elementary School in Bridgeport were told by a poll worker that they could not vote unless they had ID".

Republican Registrar of Voters, who filed a complaint against ACORN "says he will try to get to the bottom of why some voters were misinformed."
