In Greenstein v. Thomas, Connecticut's Supreme Court held that a candidate's failure to obtain a party designation committee's endorsement by a mandatory statutory deadline cannot be excused through equitable estoppel, even when an election official's communications may have caused confusion. The court rejected relief despite assuming it had authority to excuse deadline failures caused by official action, finding the committee had ample time to comply and the candidate received clear notice.
