LEBANON, Conn. -- Democrat Joe Courtney's lead in the 2nd Congressional District
dropped to 66 votes Monday after officials discovered he was mistakenly given 100
extra votes over Republican Rep. Rob Simmons, an election official said.

"It was human error," said Lebanon election moderator John Bendoraitis. "It was
strictly misreading one number on one machine."

The discovery significantly tightens one of the closest congressional races in the
nation. Preliminary Election Day returns had Courtney winning by 167 votes out of
nearly 250,000 ballots cast.
