WALLINGFORD, CT — It was a historic night for Democrats across the country and also in Connecticut as the top candidates for state office all rolled to victory.
On Election Day, incumbent Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont received 646,742 votes, and his Republican challenger Ryan Fazio earned 454,488, with about 90 percent of the total vote counted.
Democrats swept all five congressional seats once again, with Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, Luke Bronin, Joseph Courtney, and Jahana Hayes all winning.
Also winning re-election were Democrats Attorney General William Tong, Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas, Treasurer Erick Russell, and Comptroller Sean Scanlon, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State's office.
A "discrepancy" recount will take place in Wallingford after the town ran out of ballots on Election Day and contingency ballots were erroneously fed into the town's tabulators, according to WFSB 3.
Here's how Wallingford residents voted in the key races (according to totals before the recount):
(Editor's Note: Some candidates were on the ballot multiple times, which is why you may see two or even three numbers included next to a candidate's name. Also note, that several candidates involved multiple towns, and the numbers below reflect Wallingford alone. Once full results are in for all towns, we'll note the overall winner. Check back for more updates. These results are still unofficial as of now.)
