On September 1, one of the Connecticut candidates for the Independent Party’s gubernatorial nomination sued the Secretary of State of Connecticut, and the Independent Party, over the disputed results of the recent gubernatorial convention process. See this story.
The case is Stefanowski v Kohler, in Hartford state trial court.
Whether or not the Independent Party violated its bylaws is one thing. But how can a party name themselves “Independent” if a major party candidate is allowed to run for and win/almost win their nomination?
Of course, all this would be less of an issue if Connecticut had ranked-choice voting or approval voting.
