Coming this weekend

November 05, 2020 11:00 pm • Last Updated: November 06, 2020 4:07 pm

News: Across cities and towns in New London County, when comparing the 2020 presidential election to 2016, votes for the Democratic ticket increased at a much higher rate than votes for the Republican ticket. Three towns flipped from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020.

Daybreak: Folks joke about gaining "the COVID 20," but for some, the issue is more serious than that.

Business: Landmark hotels, which long have served as downtown gathering places and backdrops for the holiday season, are eerily, strangely vacant.

Perspective: Connecticut tested universal absentee balloting by means of a pandemic fire drill, and it worked well. Now it's time to turn the emergency pilot program into a long overdue amendment to the state Constitution.
