Controversy Surrounds Joe Ganim's Victory in Bridgeport Election

Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim claims victory in the Democratic primary over challenger John Gomes, citing the late count of several thousand absentee ballots. However, Gomes refuses to concede, alleging that the election was "stolen" by Ganim and expressing concerns about transparency in the counting process. Ganim's victory would position him for another four years in office, but Gomes may mount a third-party challenge in November. Both candidates emphasize the need for unity within the Democratic party.
