Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Absentee Ballot Order.

The Connecticut Supreme Court will hear an appeal of a challenge to the Governor Ned Lamont’s emergency declaration expanding the use of absentee ballots in the state’s August 11th party primaries. The action was brought by four Republican congressional hopefuls who are candidates in primaries in the state’s 1st and 2nd congressional districts.

The challenge was rejected after a hearing in Superior Court. Chief Justice Richard Robinson on Thursday granted an expedited appeal. Oral arguments will be heard August 6th via Microsoft Teams.
