## Resource

A botched Democratic primary in Enfield, caused by two critical human errors from the Secretary of State’s office, forced a court-ordered delay to September — but the incumbent still won easily. The mistake? A confusing rewrite of petition rules that told circulators to list total signatures across all pages instead of per page, throwing off legal requirements and triggering chaos. While Hartford’s primary proceeded on schedule, Enfield’s mess sparked Republican outrage over taxpayer costs — estimated at $40,000 — and voter trust. The state is now fixing internal processes and exploring how to help cover the tab, with talks likely continuing into the new year.
