Stefanowski got Independent line, but will it matter?

In his appeal to the Independent Party voters, Bob Stefanowski argued the party’s decision not to cross-endorse Republican Tom Foley in 2010 was the reason Foley lost to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. “Foley lost by less than 10,000 votes,” Stefanowski told the 64 Independent voters who gathered to endorse a candidate Sunday. “This party has over 25,000 votes. You could potentially determine this election.” Stefanowski got the party’s endorsement, beating out four other contenders including Oz Griebel who is trying to petition onto the general election ballot, but it’s unclear how much the minor party win matters.
