That is a small victory for our democracy, and we look forward to seeing how voters utilize this option in the general election. Many thanks to the election workers who ensured this success!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cConnecticut is one of the last states to implement early voting, and without funding for a robust educational campaign to inform voters about this new option, this was a very good outcome. To ensure this program\u2019s success in future elections, we urge the legislature to provide our election administrators with the funding they need.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n "}}]},"yoast_head":"\nEarly Voting a \u201cSmall Victory\u201d in Connecticut -
