[Update] Fairfield, Meet Your New RTM

There is currently a tie for the last seat in District 4. The GOP held onto its majority in the RTM, but Democrats gained some seats.

[Editor's Note: These are the results following the Nov. 21 tiebreaker vote among RTM members, and are thus the official results.]

In 2010, 38 Republicans were elected to the Representative Town Meeting, giving the party a 76 percent majority over the 12 Democrats who served on the body. As of 1 a.m., 27 Republicans were elected onto the RTM, and 23 Democrats -- giving the Republicans a slim 54 percent majority.

Jeff Steele, the RTM's current moderator, who was re-elected Tuesday, said the GOP majority is important to "balance" the Democrat-lead Board of Selectmen.

Here's the breakdown district by district. These results are not yet official (as of 1 a.m.), pending some possible recounts.

Obama is using "Plausible deniability is a term coined by the CIA during the KennedyRead More administration to describe the withholding of information from senior officials in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge."
