After Recount, Aresimowicz Wins By 50 Votes
BERLIN, CT — Twenty-five people crowded into a small conference room at Town Hall to recount ballots in House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz’s race against Republican Michael Gagliardi.
But after all the counting and recounting, the outcome of the election stayed the same and Aresimowicz will be voted in as speaker again in January.
Aresimowicz was ahead of Gagliardi by 37 votes when the polls closed last week. By the end of the day Tuesday he was ahead by 50 votes. The 30th House District also includes three polling places in Southington.
