Judge orders new Bridgeport mayoral primary after surveillance videos show possible ballot stuffing (article)
A state judge has taken the unusual step of ordering a new Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city to be held after the Nov. 7 general election is completed. The decision comes after surveillance videos showed a woman stuffing what appeared to be absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the original primary.

Superior Court Judge William Clark determined the allegations of possible malfeasance warrant throwing out the results of the Sept. 12 primary, which incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim won by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast. Absentee ballots secured his margin of victory.

“The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark wrote in his ruling, adding that the videos “are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties.”

The new primary date has not been set yet.

Despite the judge’s call for a new primary, the general election is expected to continue as planned. Ganim will appear as the Democratic nominee while Gomes will appear as an independent candidate. Republican David Herz and petitioning candidate Lamond Daniels are also running for mayor.

Ganim’s opponent, John Gomes, whose campaign obtained the surveillance video and released it publicly after the primary, sued city officials and demanded a new primary, or for him to be declared the winner.

Most secure election in history.  Most pope elections have more rigging, dossiers, ballot harvesting, fake FISA warrant applications, ballot count halts for burst water pipes and, you know, Republicans watching, etc.  Where does this judge get off listening to and considering facts in making his rulings?!?  Our democracy is at stake with MAGA fascists like this on the bench.

I can out MAGA you.

Those and every other example you can regurgitate are false flag operations to ruin the good name of mail-in balloting.  They do it in Democrat primaries to advance weaker candidates.

Or perhaps mail in balloting is not secure, as apparently was shown to the judge.    And who's to know.   Primaries are usually low voter turnout.   So stuffed ballots could be in the name of those that didn't vote.   When signatures are not checked or there is no ID, who's to know if the ballot is legit or not?

So this got in front of a judge, evidence was presented, and rulings were made in favor of the challenging party.  Why oh why wasn't Trump and his attorneys allowed to go in front of judgesohwait they went in front of many of them and got laughed out of court because they had no evidence, and the lawyers themselves mainly refused to make the argument because of said lack of evidence and, you know, not wanting to get disbarred.
