According to a Fox News report, a Connecticut Judge is calling for an election do-over after video evidence emerged of ballot stuffing in the Bridgeport Democrat mayoral primary election.
Superior Court Judge William Clark called the videos “shocking.”
“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 stated in his ruling.
“The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties,” the judge wrote.
From Fox News:
In his ruling, Clark noted that he lacked the authority to postpone or cancel the general election. However, he said he had seen enough evidence of malfeasance to order a rerun of the Sept. 12 Democratic primary election in which incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim defeated challenger John Gomes by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast.
…
Clark gave lawyers in the case 10 days to confer with city and state election officials on a possible date for the new primary. It is unclear whether city officials will appeal his decision in the meantime.
Despite the judge’s decision, the general election will take place as planned on Tuesday. Ganim will appear as the Democratic nominee. Gomes, the city’s former chief administrative officer, is on the ballot, too, as an independent candidate. Lamond Daniels and Republican David Herz are also running for mayor.
