"The moment Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz issued an un-American, unconstitutional and discriminatory directive prohibiting voters from wearing WWE merchandise at the polls, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal should have immediately stepped in to enforce the law,'' Vince says in a press release issued by the company.
"As a result of the Attorney General's inaction, I brought suit to enforce these basic, fundamental constitutional rights. Within hours of filing the lawsuit, Blumenthal recused himself, and Bysiewicz reversed her position and immediately notified all Local Registrar of Voters and Town Clerks via email. I am pleased that Connecticut voters have had their freedom of expression and their right to vote restored,"Vince McMahon said.
Does that mean he is withdrawing his lawsuit? Stayed tuned.
Meanwhile, state GOP chairman Chris Healy weighed in. "Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz has deliberately misled voters on the procedures and rights of voters in an effort to intimidate supporters of Linda McMahon,'' Healy said.
"World Wrestling Entertainment, which employs over 500 people in Connecticut and is an excellent corporate citizen, has a right to defend its name and reputation. Democrats have lost the faith of the voters and now they are desperate. Dick Blumenthal should denounce this practice promoted by Secretary Bysiewicz and voters should not be intimidated by the desperate acts of failed politicians."
