Ok, this is weird.  According to the official (government certified) final count for the Connecticut 2000 election, Phil Giordao, Joe Lieberman’s Republican opponent, received exactly 448,077 votes.  Fast forward to 2006, and according to CNN, Ned Lamont received – you guessed it, 448,077 votes.  WTF?! 

Thanks to August for finding this one.  Let’s hope it’s just a typo.  Or that it is a shocking, improbable (though possible) coincidence.  Let’s hope it’s anything besides evidence of impropriety.
