Bristol Town Committee Considers Splitting Second District
The Bristol Republican Town Committee voted to seek a split of the Second Representative District to ease polling-place congestion near Reynolds School. Dr. Samuel C. Clark, town council president, said changing districts is unlikely but a committee was named to study feasibility for the Nov. 7 election. State law allows dividing districts if 2400 voters are not served by a single polling place.
