The CT-GOV race is going to be nasty -- I just don't see Malloy pulling within the 2000 votes needed to instigate a recount. The only way I see Malloy winning is if there was some discrepancy in the results that the SoS recorded.
You have that backwards. The SoS claims Malloy won. Foley claims he won. Malloy claims his lead is bigger than what the SoS claims. The SoS is speaking out of turn about whether there will be a recount before receiving certified results from the towns. There always can be transcription errors.
Oh! I was looking at the New York Times results, and they project that Foley is ahead with 99% of the precincts in.
