OLD LYME — 11/6 UPDATES—Unofficial results indicate incumbent Martha Marx (D) has won a second term in the 20th State Senate District, which includes Old Lyme.
The ballot question regarding the use of absentee ballots looks as though it will likely pass according to unofficial results. This amendment would support a law allowing any voter to vote by absentee ballot, without needing an excuse. At 3:34 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, the New York Times reported 56.8 percent supporting the measure and 43.2 percent voting against it, with 59 percent of the vote counted.
The unofficial results of Tuesday’s election in the Town of Old Lyme are below. The first number is from in-person voting at Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School on Tuesday and the second number from both Early Voting and Absentee votes. All numbers are provisional.
Connecticut US Senator Christopher Murphy (D) and Connecticut US House Representative Joe Courtney, both Incumbents, have respectively been declared winners.
Incumbent State Rep. Devin Carney (R) has claimed victory in the 23rd District and his challenger Jane Wisilowski has conceded to him. Carney was running to secure a sixth term. The 23rd District includes both Lyme and Old Lyme.
Incumbent State Senator Norm Needleman (D) has been declared the winner in the 33rd District, which includes Lyme.
No winner has yet been declared in the 20th State Senate District, which includes Old Lyme. Incumbent Martha Marx (D) is seeking a second term—she is being challenged by Republican Shawn Mastroianna.

It is very unfortunate that Connecticut congressional delegation is so far out of touch with the nations mood.
I fear the real losers here are residents of Connecticut due to the relationship that our Connecticut delegation has with the Trump administration during Trump’s first presidential term and subsequent comments that members of the delegation have made, that will not be helpful.
