With several Connecticut towns reporting more than 50% voter turnout by 6 p.m. — and one reporting more than 75% — residents streamed to the polls today to cast ballots that, from some corners, could resonate nationally.

The race for Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District between incumbent Democrat Jahana Hayes and Republican challenger George Logan drew a national spotlight. Other contests included a contentious and expensive gubernatorial rematch along with races for U.S. Senate and General Assembly.
