"Probe into Alleged Election Fraud in Bridgeport Mayoral Race"

TL;DR Summary
Leaked CCTV footage in Bridgeport, Connecticut, showed individuals putting multiple absentee ballots into drop boxes, leading to a vote scandal that attracted attention from Donald Trump and his supporters. However, experts argue that election fraud is rare and that the situation in Bridgeport is a result of unique and tumultuous local politics. The controversy has upended the mayoral race, with a judge ordering a re-run of the Democratic primary. Both candidates deny wider allegations of voter fraud, and experts view the situation in Bridgeport as an anomaly within Connecticut and the US.
