It's definitely a weird voting pattern I only just noticed recently on the state election results. It was pretty surprising as the area around Waterbury has become much more diverse than 30 years ago. The best theory I can come up with is the area is more Hispanic than other cities in the state, and the total failure of Waterbury to improve may be a factor. Hispanics vote Republican more often than people think, i.e. Texas and Florida. Could be a factor?

I'm sure you'll be fine though. Hopefully the state can figure out how to revitalize Waterbury, and the whole law and order voting impetus will not be a thing.
