Lamont campaign scrutinizes Ganim’s petitions

With a confident flourish, Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim earlier this month submitted primary petitions totaling 32,000 names, more than twice what was required to challenge Democratic nominee Ned Lamont in an August primary for governor. But about half the names were disqualified, mostly because the people who signed the petition forms were not registered Democrats. Now, Lamont’s campaign is closely reviewing the huge stack of names, addresses and 16,929 signatures, to see whether all the names were filled out by the registered voters and not those who circulated the petitions. “The campaign is carefully reviewing the petitions and what our options are,” said Patty McQueen, Lamont’s spokesman.
