It's Primary Day in Connecticut! We know a lot of people can't vote in today's primaries because they're either not registered with one of our two major political parties, they're one of the millions of Americans on vacation during one of our final weeks of summer, or they just don't know about it. Maybe, it's all of the above.
We found a couple of stalwart voters who work in occupations (way) outside of politics. They represent different political parties, genders and they live in different geographical locations around the state. They're willing to talk to us about how they're feeling this primary election and what their experience was like at the polls today.
Plus, we're taking your calls. Tell us about your experience at the polls and how you're feeling about this primary?
