Election tampering and ballot mishandling cannot and will not go unchecked \u2014 not in Bridgeport, not in Connecticut, and not in this country. We\u2019re grateful that the court handled this situation swiftly and seriously.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cFar too many Bridgeport officials wanted to ignore this. Bridgeport has been plagued by serious misdeeds related to elections for far too long. The voters of Bridgeport deserve better than this.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cWhile this situation is not ideal and a poor reflection on the leaders of Bridgeport, we want to assure voters that this is not normal.
