First Election Return Results 11.07.23
Internal polling from geroger Logan shows the Republican in close contest against Represenative Jahana Hayes in a potential rematch for the fifth district Congressional seat.
With the extereme unpopulaity of President Biden's handling of the war in Gaza among young Democratic voters, polling news like this should serve as a wake-up call for supporters of the Congresswoman who will need all hands on deck for the 2024 campaign cycle.
The Washington Examiner reports...
"A new internal poll in the race for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District shows a tight one between three-term incumbent Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) and George Logan, a Republican who lost by just over 2,000 votes last cycle.Five Thirty Eight ranks polling firme used by Logan (Public Opinion Strategies) at B+The district is one of the most competitive in the nation, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which has rated it as “lean Democrat.”
This is reflected in an internal polling memo for the Logan campaign, obtained by the Washington Examiner, that shows the race is neck and neck and within the margin of error of 4.9 percentage points. Forty-three percent of voters said they support Hayes, 41% said they support Logan, and 16% remain undecided.
The generic ballot is also within the margin of error, with 44% of voters saying they prefer a Democratic candidate and 42% of voters saying they prefer a Republican candidate.
Logan leads among independent and unaffiliated voters, 41% to 33%; among independent men, 39%-28%; and among independent women, 43%-37%. The poll, conducted Nov. 11-13, finds President Joe Biden is unpopular in the district as well, with only 40% of voters approving of the job he’s done and 53% disapproving of his performance.
This is a rematch of last cycle’s race in the district, in which Hayes defeated Logan by less than 1 percentage point."

Here's the long-form verion of Tuesday's results.
Word of caution for new readers: this report is different than the traditional returns in news reports. the primary purpose of the long-form returns is to provide a VERY VERY detailed breakdown of the results in each of the city's seven wards.At first, understanding the report can be a bit overwhelming (it's over 100 pages), but once you get the hang of reading the report, you'll appreciate the attention to detail. Please free to leave a comment if you have a problem understanding the report.
I'll give an analysis of the data and the election later as this data takes a LONG while to export and do a cross-compare analysis to the return data of previous races, which are also over 100 pages (you get the idea of the amount of work ahead).

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
