Absentee Ballots Secure Nappier Victory.

Absentee ballots from Connecticut’s urban areas provided incumbent Democrat Denise Nappier with a 7,000 vote margin over Republican Tim Herbst in their battle for state treasurer. The additional votes, made known Wednesday in the state’s chaotic election process, mean Nappier is not expected to face a recount.

Herbst, who ran a spirited campaign, will hold a press conference in Trumbull at 4 pm.
