The Latest: Morning tally shows 22 percent voter turnout
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Latest on Tuesday's election in Connecticut (all times local):
1:55 p.m.
Connecticut election officials say midmorning reports show about 22 percent of the state's registered voters cast their ballots in the close race for governor and other contests.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill's office released preliminary turnout figures early Tuesday afternoon. A spokesman says Merrill is not predicting what the final turnout figure will be.
About 77 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the 2016 election.
Long lines at many polling places and no major voting problems were reported Tuesday morning. Turnout dropped at some locations later in the morning as heavy rains began to fall.
