Four campaign officials charged with election fraud in Bridgeport, Connecticut, represent the battle for fair elections.
Tuesday in relation to the 2019 mayoral primary race in which incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim defeated state Sen. Marilyn Moore by only 270 votes.
All four campaign officials were charged with unlawful possession of absentee ballots, while Geter-Pataky and Castillo were also charged with failing to sign as an assister on an absentee ballot application and misrepresenting eligibility requirements. Several voters filed a lawsuit in 2019 that sought a new election — nearly a dozen testified in court that they had voted by absentee ballots despite not being qualified to do so.
Failing to do so undermines the most fundamental manner through which the public can influence politics: voting. The disenfranchisement and sense of helplessness felt by so many are bad enough as they are, but stories such as this one erode trust in government to an even more troubling extent.
