Connecticut Judge Orders New Mayoral Primary Amid Ballot Controversy

A judge in Connecticut has ordered a new mayoral primary in Bridgeport after surveillance videos showed people stuffing multiple absentee ballots into outdoor collection boxes, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the previous primary results. The ruling comes just days before the general election, leaving voters to decide the outcome of the mayoral race on November 7th and then return at a later date to choose the rightful Democratic nominee. The judge cited evidence of malfeasance and abnormally large numbers of absentee ballots cast in certain districts. The general election will proceed as planned, with incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim appearing as the Democratic nominee.
