Secretary of the State Denise Merrill this afternoon is expected to confirm Wild Card gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Pelto’s arithmatical hypothesis that he failed to collect the 7,500 signatures of registered state voters he needed to get on the gubernatorial ballot in November. That may leave many angry but Democratic-leaning school teachers little room, if they want to vote this fall. Joe Visconti, a West Hartford contractor, will appeal to conservative gun-rights types. Republican Tom Foley, the 2010 runner-up seeking his first elective office, will gather opponents of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. So if unionized teachers stay home, against their leaders and in opposition to Malloy’s education reforms, will that be enough for Foley to turn Malloy into a one-term governor?
