CT: Third Party Candidates Find Footing Among Angry Voters

From the Middletown Press:

In a trend becoming almost commonplace, the upcoming November elections will be more than just a two-party race as many third-party candidates have thrown their hats in the ring.

And this year, third-party candidates threaten to tip a handful of congressional and gubernatorial races to contenders who otherwise might lose. On the local level, the candidates hope to make a difference — mostly, they all hope for some sort of election reform in order to make it easier for third-party candidates to get on the ballot in the future.

In the governor’s race, Independent candidate Tom Marsh from Chester is battling Republican Tom Foley and Democrat Dan Malloy. His ally is Cicero Booker Jr, of Waterbury, for the lieutenant governor spot.  While some third-party candidates are independents, many candidates are members of the Green Party . . .
