Needed: Names of candidates in these races. 
The types of voting systems used in these races.
Returns as they come in on election night and any early
voting results.

As you can see all three of these races are very close and
will require extra attention so that any *funny* numbers can
be found out.

Your assistance is required. Thank you

4. As far as I know

CT uses lever machines. I know in my district they do.

Not sure if some districts are using other forms this year. There was talk of it but not sure if they are actually going ahead with it.

6. I know we'll be using optical scan machines

I believe 25 towns are testing them this go-round.
