It appears that the ongoing controversies over eminent domain in New London, Connecticut have resulted in an electoral defeat for its proponents:
New London-AP,Nov. 9, 2005 7:51 AM) _ After a campaign focusing on rising taxes and the eminent domain controversy, New London voters have sliced the Democrats’ City Council majority from three to one.
The upstart One New London Party won two council seats, losing a third seat by only 19 votes. The new seven-member council will consist of four Democrats, one Republican, and two aldermen from One New London.
It appears that the Council’s ties to the development board that was formed to take the property at issue in Kelo were a major issue in the campaign.
