"Bridgeport's Unresolved Mayoral Election: Ganim Declares Victory Amid Skepticism"
Bridgeport, Connecticut's mayoral election redo remains unresolved as Mayor Joe Ganim declared victory while votes were still being counted, despite opponent John Gomes not conceding. The election redo, the city’s third mayoral contest in five months, was prompted by allegations of ballot fraud. Both candidates have accused each other of fraudulent activities, and the city has been plagued by absentee ballot fraud allegations for years, with state authorities expanding their investigation into possible electioneering charges.
