What the Courant does not mention and voters likely don’t know is, that like all referendums, this vote will not be audited. All referendums and questions are exempt from audit in Connecticut.

Of course if the vote is close, there will be a recount - but because of the reversal of policy by Secretary of the State, Susan Bysiewicz, we no longer do manual recounts of the paper.
