The Connecticut Examiner reported that a court overturned a Bridgeport Primary election due to ‘shocking’ fraud. Video unearthed off two local prominent Democrats engaging in election fraud by stuffing ballot boxes.
Vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee and operations specialist for the city as well as Eneida Martinez, a former City Council member, were caught on camera filling drop boxes with fraudulent ballots.
As a result, a judge ruled on Wednesday to overturn the city’s Democratic primary election, initially won by incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, following claims of absentee ballot fraud by his opponent, John Gomes, reports the Connecticut Examiner. Elon Musk picked up on the story and retweeted the article with the following comment: “Judge orders a new election in Connecticut town after surveillance video showed ballot stuffing in drop boxes!” Musk then continues with the most crucial point: “that this happened her is beyond reasonable doubt. The only question is how common it is.”

“After two weeks of evidentiary hearings for Gomes’s absentee ballot fraud lawsuit, Judge William Clark ordered a new Democratic primary based on 180 pieces of evidence presented by Gomes’s legal counsel” the Examiner writes.
In the 37-page ruling, Clark said the video footage presented by Bill Bloss – Gomes’s attorney – “was particularly alarming.”
“Mr. Ganim was also correct to be ‘shocked’ at what he saw on the video clips in evidence that were shown to him while he was on the witness stand,” Clark wrote. “The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties.
“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.”
