PRIMARY IN CONNECTICUT
Long after the Indiana primaries, Connecticut is in the national spotlight with the Lamont/Lieberman contest which the latter lost. In this ARTICLE, two sets of figures stand out:Lamont, an antiwar supporter, won with 52 percent of the vote, or 146,061 votes, to 48 percent for Lieberman, or 136,042, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
and
In the run-up to the primary, 14,000 new Connecticut voters registered as Democrats, while another 14,000 state voters switched their registration from unaffiliated to Democrat to vote in the primary.
28,000 new voters in the primary, half of whom switched from unaffiliated and the result has apparently set up a three-way race for senator. Hmmmm . . . .
