The 2010 Connecticut Election Results are now officially in. The race for state governor was one of the closet out of all the other nationwide elections. Up until only hours ago, most election result news reports showed Republican Tom Foley ahead of Democrat Dan Malloy by a few thousand votes. However, it appears as though Malloy has won the race for Governor of Connecticut by a mere 3,103 votes. He has been projected to be the Governor-elect by the Secretary of State, and no recount is expected to be made.

For a recount to be made, a candidate would have had to win by 2,000 or fewer votes, thus the Ex-Mayor of Stamford, Connecticut will become the new Governor of Connecticut.

Polls prior to the Connecticut election showed an expected close race, with a slight edge to Republican Tom Foley. However, Malloy looks to have pulled out a minor upset.

While it looks as though Malloy has won the election, Tom Foley has yet to concede the race until his campaign can look over the numbers to come to a conclusion.
