Himes Overcomes Ballot Shortage, Debicella’s Challenge
by Marc Bussanich | November 3, 2010 1:49am
BRIDGEPORT — Some said Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Himes was vulnerable this year because President Obama wasn’t on the ticket.
But it seems that the President’s rally for Himes in Bridgeport—just three days before the election—may have paid huge dividends. Just as it did in 2008, the city once again provided Himes with his largest margin of victory as he just barely held off his Republican challenger, state Sen. Dan Debicella, in the 4th Congressional District by 490 out of a total of 173,212 votes cast.

GREENWICH—Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley waited until 1 a.m. on Election Night before addressing supporters and campaign workers at the Greenwich Hyatt, but he still didn’t have the answer they wanted to hear, as results were still being counted in Bridgeport after a ballot shortage led to an extension of voting hours to 10 p.m.
“We’re quite confident that we will win,” Foley said. “But we want to wait until we know for sure.”

by Christine Stuart | November 2, 2010 7:56pm
(Updated 3:17 a.m.) It was the first upset of the evening for House Democrats. Rep.

Fontana wasn’t alone. Final numbers indicated Democrats had lost 14 seats in the state House of Representatives. Eleven incumbents went down in defeat and three open seats were taken by Republicans, but recounts are pending in several of them.
