Who would have thunk it? A bag of uncounted ballots found in deep blue Connecticut. Hmmm, I wonder how many of these votes went for the GOP?
Read from Gateway Pundit:
Shocker. Connecticut Dems Find Mysterious Bag of Uncounted Ballots
"Well, what a complete shock?
Democrats in Connecticut found a bag of uncounted ballots two days after the election. The votes could be pivotal in the race for Governor, where neither candidate has conceded defeat.
NBC Conn reported:
'In what has become one of the stranger twists in an already bizarre Governor’s race, a bag of uncounted ballots was found in Bridgeport Thursday night.
Republican officials were approached by Democratic operatives and told about the surprise ballot bag, according to Bridgeport GOP Chairman Marc Delmonico.
Delmonico said Democrats asked to have several people deputized to count the uncounted ballots, but Republicans objected, claiming that wasn’t proper procedure in the vote-counting process.
Instead the GOP asked police to take custody of the bag of ballots until the matter could be sorted out.
The votes could be pivotal in the race for Governor, in which neither candidate has conceded defeat.'
The New York Times also reported on this suspicious bag of votes.
'Foley said he does not trust the numbers. On Thursday night he issued a statement claiming a bag of photocopied ballots had been discovered during the counting of ballots in Bridgeport.
“It is unclear where these ballots originated, where they have been for the last two days and whether they are valid ballots,” Foley said. “This is a very serious matter, and the state police should immediately impound them until their origin, chain of custody and validity is determined.”
Arthur Laske, Bridgeport’s deputy city attorney, denied Foley’s allegations that the ballots had suddenly been discovered. He said both campaigns were informed Tuesday evening the photocopied ballots were being kept under seal until enough elections staff were available to hand-count them.
Laske calls Foley’s assertions irresponsible and said the candidate mischaracterized how the ballots have been handled.
Foley’s running mate, Mark Boughton, told reporters that the campaign had noticed fluctuations throughout the day in the vote totals, including a 2,000-vote change in Foley’s favor in Torrington. He urged election officials not to rush the counting and suggested Bysiewicz triple check the numbers.'"

The bag contained 336 ballots.
The AP has Dan Malloy ahead of Tom Foley by 6240 votes.
The Hartford Courant has Malloy ahead of Foley by 5465 votes.
The photocopied ballots became necessary when several polling locations ran out of ballots. That is the accepted practice, not something nefarious.

Get over yourselves, rightwingtnuts.
10 years in prison for election fraud.
Problem solved!
There is no indication of any sort of election fraud, AnonyMoron.
Has anybody else noticed that Republicans never lose an election? They are ALWAYS cheated by election fraud, it seems, even though they furnish no proof to back it up.
Just another indication of how you live in a fantasy world, AnonyMoron.
And stuart smalley won based on ballots "found" in the trunk of a DEMOCRAT election official's car, AFTER Norm Coleman was declared the winner. HHMM. The 6oth vote for commiedems in the senate was won by cheating, and a liberal court upheld it.
Who gives a damn how many ballots were found? They should all be counted at the same time.
LMAO You guys still whining about Minnesota? Get real. And before you get too deep into this voter fraud nonsense, remember how Georgie Porgie got into the White House in the first place!
I'll take Bush any day over the skinny kenyan.
Also, the socialist health bill would never have passed without the Minnesota election theft.
When someone like al franken gets elected, that shows the stupidity of democrats.
Hey, I'll take a profesional comedian over any of the amateurs that reside in Rightwingnbutville. People like Michele Bachmann, Christina O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, etc. are funny.. they just don't know it!
Don't bother feeding the troll. He shows up here after every aricle whether he's fed or not. He'll keep coming as long as he gets that eight bucks an hour.
Which urban myth is more stupid?
1. Democrats only win elections via voter fraud.
2. Democrats pay trolls to comment on insiginificant rightwingtnut blogs.
