Connecticut election law permits a political party to expel a registered member of that party, for “disloyalty.” The decision is in the hands of the party’s Registrar of Voters, for the town in which the individual lives. On August 25, New Haven’s Democratic Registrar of Voters refused to expel U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman. Lieberman lives in New Haven. There is no legal recourse for anyone who is unhappy with the Registrar’s decision. Some Democrats in New Haven had asked the Registrar to expel the Senator, but she has now rejected that request.
