A revote is being held in Bridgeport, Connecticut, after the Democratic mayoral primary election was tainted by a ballot stuffing scandal last year. Voters are set to hit the polls on Tuesday, Jan. 23.
A judge ordered the revote after the voting fraud was caught on camera. Now, there are new election complaints that have already been filed ahead of Tuesday’s vote.
John Gomes, running for mayor against incumbent Joe Ganim, filed a lawsuit against Ganim and multiple officials after the videos surfaced. Surveillance cameras outside ballot drop boxes captured several people inserting multiple ballots at once on multiple occasions.
According to Gomes’ lawyer Bill Bloss, video surveillance showed no more than 420 people use ballot drop boxes. However, over 1,200 ballots were inside the boxes.
