Voting error prompts reminder

Speaker of the House Chris Donovan had to remind his representatives this morning to be careful when voting.

"Make sure the button you press is yours," he said. "That's very important."

Donovan's words came after Rep. Craig Miner accidentally pressed Rep. Juan Candelaria's button when voting on a joint resolution confirming William J. Sullivan, of Waterbury, as a senior judge of the Supreme Court.

Candelaria was absent for the vote. Miner voted in favor, and his vote was properly recorded before the count was taken.

The resolution passed 106-24.
