Just in case anyone else tries to raise conspiratorial rhetoric in this thread realize that Ryan Fazio, a republican representing the 36th district in the state senate, won his election by about 89 votes. There were close elections all over the state because.... my best guess is in traditionally more republican locations, the CT GOP for some reason seems to continue to field bad candidates so democrats are making some races closer than expected (and fielding strong candidates like Chris Poulos).

It's really unsettling that the reaction to a close election has gone from "wow, that's so close!" to "I don't believe it."
