Bolton, Tong projected to win Connecticut AG primaries

Connecticut attorney general primary results

John Bolton was projected to win the Republican primary for Connecticut attorney general. The Republican contest was marked uncontested, meaning Bolton had no listed opponent in that party’s primary.

William Tong was projected to win the Democratic primary for the same office. Tong, identified as the incumbent, also had no listed opponent because the Democratic contest was marked uncontested.

The results page displayed zero votes and 0.0% for both candidates at its last update, posted Sept. 22 at 3:44 p.m. Eastern time. The winner labels were projections by the NBC News Decision Desk, while the vote data was credited to the Associated Press.

How to read the results

The “expected vote” figure estimates the total number of ballots that will be included in a race after counting is complete. It is not itself a reported vote total.

That estimate draws on several factors, including the number of early ballots and information given to vote reporters by county election officials on Election Day. It can change as additional information is gathered.

What comes next

The displayed vote totals may be updated as election reporting continues. Any change in the expected-vote estimate would reflect updated information about how many ballots are anticipated in the race, rather than a separate pool of votes.

The page’s winner designations remain media projections. Its numerical fields distinguish between reported votes, each candidate’s percentage and an estimate of how much of the anticipated vote has been counted.
