On October 28, the Connecticut Secretary of State released new registration data. Percentages: Democratic 37.63%; Republican 21.54%; Independent Party 1.01%; Libertarian .12%; Green .09%; Working Families .02%; independent and miscellaneous 39.60%.
In February 2016, the percentages had been: Democratic 36.89%; Republican 20.97%; Independent Party .87%; Libertarian .09%; Green .08%; Working Families .02%; independent and miscellaneous 41.08%. Thanks to Jim for the link.
Where is the link on their website for this data?
The visible link was deleted from the web site not long after it was published. No idea why. The link still works, though. And if you do a google search for “NEW RECORD FOR NUMBER OF PEOPLE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN CONNECTICUT!” it comes up as the first result. They’ll probably do an updated version in the next week, anyway.

Thank you Jim!
With the majority of voters registered miscellaneous, it might be worth reporting on some of those affiliations.
