Connecticut certified its official November 2012 vote on November 28, 2012. The state cannot correct the official totals after certification, even though in December, an error was found. The town of Rocky Hill initially reported that the Working Families nominee for State Representative, 29th district, received 3,292 votes. But on December 21, the town filed a correction, saying the true figure is 383.

For U.S. House, First District, the town had first reported 3,082 votes for the Working Families Party, but then in December said the correct total is 287. These errors occur because so many voters in Connecticut apparently fill in both bubbles on the ballot for the same candidate, when the candidate is on the ballot twice. In each of these two races, the Working Families Party and the Democratic Party had nominated the same person.

Neither race was close, so the errors didn’t affect the identity of the winner.
