Corrupt Bridgeport Mayoral Election to Be Run Again
JAZZ SHAW 10:01 AM on November 19, 2023
We previously looked at the disputed Bridgeport, Connecticut mayoral election that failed to be certified after evidence of obvious election fraud and ballot box stuffing emerged. Mayor Joe Ganim and challenger John Gomes were separated by barely 250 votes in the original Democratic primary tally, but videos emerged of women (plural) stuffing ballots into drop boxes, leading Gomes to challenge the outcome. Now a judge has ruled the original election invalid and set January 23 as the date for the rerun. But the judge is also ordering new rules to be put in place, ostensibly to reduce the chance of cheating taking place. The entire affair is already looking like a joke at this point, so perhaps the bigger question should be how the city has gotten away with this sort of election fraud to begin with and why nothing was done about it until now.

A Connecticut judge has set Jan. 23 as the date for a new Democratic primary election in the Bridgeport mayor’s race after having tossed out the September election results because of alleged ballot box stuffing.
Judge William Clark issued the order late Friday afternoon after Mayor Joe Ganim and challenger John Gomes agreed on the Jan. 23 date. Clark also ruled a new general election, if needed, would be held Feb. 27.
Clark’s order also includes specific procedures to be followed in the new primary, including making absentee ballot applications available on Dec. 29 and a new safeguard requiring the town clerk to stamp each absentee ballot received through drop boxes with the words “Drop Box.”
