Melissa in the Morning: A Rebrand that Could Kill a Party

You may remember we started the week with our legal expert, Attorney Bill Bloss, talking about Section 27 of House Bill 5498. While the overall bill tackles a lot of problems in Connecticut regarding absentee ballots and creating cleaner elections, there’s a troubling section that’s a direct attack on the independent party. It not only would hurt the third party in our state, there are concerns it would also cause confusion for the average Connecticut voter. We spoke with Lisa Brinton, the Norwalk Town Chair of the Independent Party, who testified against this section earlier this week.
