For more deets about his win margins, commentary from a political science prof, and to see how Lamont did in your town, check out the full story + interactive maps. ctmirror.org/2022/11/11/ct-…
Which in turn, decreased his win margins.
However, he lost some votes in the cities due to lower turnout.
He won big in the 'burbs. Lamont took control of 45 towns that Stefanowski had won in 2018 -- some in Fairfield County, along the shoreline, and other Hartford 'burbs.
For starters, he widened his win margin over Stefanowski. In 2018 he won by over 44k votes In 2022, he won by more than 158K, over 3x the amount. But why?
My latest for the Mirror takes a close look at the votes Lamont received this year compared to 2018. 🧵 below...
Even though fewer people voted in CT's cities in 2022 than in 2018, Gov. Ned Lamont managed to win by boosting his numbers in the suburbs. ctmirror.org/2022/11/11/ct-…
A partial list of towns Lamont likely flipped from '18, with >95% reporting Greenwich Darien New Canaan Milford Madison Clinton Westbrook Old Saybrook Old Lyme Waterford North Stonington Farmington Avon Rocky Hill Cromwell Portland Colchester Granby Canton Cheshire Ansonia
Last night's close race turns rout by dawn: With 97% of precincts reporting, @GovNedLamont had 56% of the vote to 43% for @bobforgovernor Stefanowski and 1% for Rob Hotaling of the Independent Party. ctmirror.org/2022/11/08/ct-…
For #Connecticut news, read @CTMirror @CTMPolitics Excellent journalism, no paywall.
One disturbing observation by @sarahkendzior in her new book is that to get journalism that aims for the truth or includes archives of actual history, you usually have to go through a paywall. But the propagandists hand out disinformation like its candy. A dangerous imbalance.
In a text to me, @bobforgovernor clarified, if tersely, his reference on WFSB to a first trimester limitation on abortion. "Will leave Ct law as it is." CT law is codification of Roe: Abortions are legal up to viability, generally considered to be about 23 weeks.
"I think abortion should be limited to the first trimester," @bobforgovernor said tonight on WFSB. That's far more restrictive than Connecticut law or his previous position. He was not asked to clarify. His spox tells me his position is unchanged: He supports CT's Roe standard.
