Keeley seeks another recount, new election

BRIDGEPORT — Bob Keeley wants a court judge to help him get to the bottom of that missing absentee ballot that turned up during last week’s primary recount, ending Keeley’s City Council bid in the 133rd District. The former state representative has filed an election complaint with the Superior Court. When the polls closed on Sept. 12 Keeley, a Democrat who had collected signatures to force a primary in a North End council district, tied with incumbent Jeanette Herron, with 170 votes a piece. The Registrars of Voters hosted a recount a week later. One absentee ballot tabulated and added to Herron’s winnings, putting her at 171 votes. There are 20 council seats, two from each district. Herron and Keeley appeared on the Sept.
