The general election results were influenced by absentee ballots, with Ganim winning more absentee votes than Gomes.

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.
