Conn. Judge Orders New Mayoral Election After Evidence Of Ballot Stuffing

 Wait! I thought this type of things were conspiracy theories only advanced by white supremacists? From NBC Connecticut: "Judge orders new Bridgeport mayoral primary after surveillance videos show possible ballot stuffing." 

    A state judge has taken the unusual step of ordering a new Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city to be held after the Nov. 7 general election is completed. The decision comes after surveillance videos showed a woman stuffing what appeared to be absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the original primary.

    Superior Court Judge William Clark determined the allegations of possible malfeasance warrant throwing out the results of the Sept. 12 primary, which incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim won by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast. Absentee ballots secured his margin of victory.

    “The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark wrote in his ruling, adding that the videos “are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties.”

Ah, I understand. Ballot stuffing is only real when it negatively impacts politicians in the Democrat party, but otherwise it is a conspiracy theory only held by right wing extremists who are trying to undermine our democratic process.
