Thanks! It looks like Joe Turnham, the state party chair is very unhappy with this development, and I hope it will be overturned by the state executive committee on Saturday. I know Patricia would appreciate contributions of any size to the Victory Fund to help cover the cost of her legal challenge.

Thank you for the coverage of this incredible series of events. A report on it was linked to http://www.firedoglake.com and I found you through ThinkProgress. I’m sorry to see this happening to a candidate who sounds like a real asset to your area and agree with a previous commenter that this sounds more like Republican tactics than what we want to see from Democrats. It is receiving national coverage, it is on msnbc website and firedoglake is a site that helped significantly in the CT race. I’m a MA resident, but will be watching this with interest. Please post suggestions and addresses for Dems from out of state if you think we can help Ms. Todd. She is the winner, she earned the seat and this smacks of racism and underhanded, nasty politics.
Best wishes.
