Election Season in Connecticut

From Colin McEnroe's Sunday column in the Hartford Courant:

Among the winners I would list people who actually voted, especially because several races ended up either in an exact tie or separations of just a few votes. Among the losers I would list Hartford, where there was 7 percent turnout. Granted, it was not a mayoral election, so it lacked the compelling narrative of lots of people getting arrested. Still, 7 percent? Destabilized places ravaged by civil war and serial dictatorships have better than 7 percent turnout. Not Hartford, but the other places like that.
