Hartford Courant Article on Working Families Party is Misleading

The Hartford Courant of August 3 has this article about the Connecticut Working Families Party. The reporter placed stress on the fact that the party only has 15 registered members. However, no one knows how many registered members the party has in Connecticut. That is because the WFP is still not a qualified party throughout the state of Connecticut; instead it is only qualified in certain legislative districts and a single US House district (although it has candidates this year in all 5 congressional districts, it had to petition in 4 of them and is not yet a qualified party in those 4 districts). We won’t know the party’s registration total in the entire state until any tally taken in 2009.
