just ONE vote...

Just one vote.

No, it wasn't in far-off Nome, Alaska.  Nor was in a large state such as New York, California, or Florida.  It was just one town away, in Southington.  When we imagine small states such as Connecticut, we think erroneously of uniform legislatures.  True, Connecticut leans Democratic, but Southington doesn't fit this profile.  In fact, Southington has had some true knuckle-draggers.  

But not this time.

If one or two voters had stayed home this would be a different story.  What I'm saying to you is vote.  From President down to dog-catcher. I'm not saying this will an ironclad guarantee.  But you never know...
