“ this would repeal … a six-month residency requirement on voters who are moving into town. This is in conflict with Article IX of the Amendments to the Connecticut State Constitution and it is also in conflict with the U.S. Constitution as construed by the federal courts. In particular, for the record, Nichols v. Schaffer which is reported at 344 Federal Supplement, page 238.”
