Democrats gain multiple seats in CT House, preserve majority in CT Senate

The House Democratic majority made net gains Tuesday night in the General Assembly, flipping at least six Republican seats and most likely losing two on a night marked by widespread frustration over slow and incomplete election returns in Connecticut.

The Senate Democratic majority neither claimed victory nor conceded defeat in four districts represented by Republicans who won two years ago with less than 51% of the vote and were seen as vulnerable in a presidential year. By the end of the day Wednesday, their best outcome was a net gain of one seat.

The Associated Press called two of those four races for Republicans, saying Sen. Ryan Fazio of Greenwich and Sen. Jeff Gordon of Woodstock had been reelected, giving the Connecticut GOP a much-needed boost on a night when it failed win a competitive congressional seat and lost ground in the state House.

Three other state Senate races initially were too close to call, but two broke for the GOP: Sen. Tony Hwang, R-Fairfield, appeared to defeat Democrat Rob Blanchard, while Democratic challenger Paul Honig seemed on track to unseat Sen. Lisa Seminara, R-Avon. She conceded Wednesday afternoon.
