CT Voter registration at decade high

quote[About 74,000 new voters have been registered in Connecticut in the past six months — the most in a decade — and political experts expect those new voters to have a significant effect on Election Day.

Those totals could be even higher by the time the deadline for new registrations for the Nov. 7 election expires at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

The party affiliation breakdown of those new voters doesn’t appear to be good news for Republican candidates in a year when many Connecticut residents are angry with both the Iraq war and President Bush.

Only 14.3 percent of new registrants signed up to join the GOP, a figure well below the Republicans’ overall share of the Connecticut electorate and barely more than one-third of new Democratic voters.]

Tell everyone you know to vote Lamont next Tuesday!!
