Gov. Malloy relieved that Bridgeport’s primary vote went smoothly

The governor, speaking with reporters this morning, said he hadn’t yet congratulated Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch for his Democratic primary victory over Mary-Jane Foster in a race where he declined to endorse a candidate. “I will be calling Mayor Finch to congratulate him….Any day that all the votes are counted in a timely fashion is a good day,” said Malloy, whose gubernatorial victory was delayed several days last November after Bridgeport voter registrars failed to order enough optical-scan ballots, so photocopies had to be provided to voters that later had to be hand-counted.
