Top elections official: Dump voter registrars

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, the state's chief elections official, Wednesday morning proposed eliminating locally elected voter registrars. Merrill, in a news conference in her Capitol office, cited last November's Election Day problems in Fairfield, Hartford and Naugatuck as well as the 2010 problems in Bridgeport that left the outcome of the gubernatorial election in doubt for days, as the reason to professionalize local voter offices.
