Bridgeport did not see a repeat of last year's ballot blunder during its latest municipal elections in September. State officials, though, will still be checking for any problems.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill said three precincts have been randomly selected for an audit of their election results. Those precincts are: Beardsley School, Bassick High School and the Roosevelt School.
"This post-election audit drawing gives another added layer of security to check the accuracy of the machine counts in Bridgeport," Merrill said. "We expect that the results of this audit will reassure the public to have continued confidence that all votes were recorded properly."
State law requires that 10 percent of all polling precincts used in the election are subject to an audit. Precincts from 21 other municipalities were selected at a random drawing on Sept. 28. Bridgeport's precincts were not drawn until Wednesday because the city's primary was delayed until Sept. 27.
