Since these details were left out, video of two individuals stuffing ballot boxes provided by Gomes. For the rules regarding absentee ballots in Connecticut that's not kosher that they be handed to these individuals to do this as they are not qualified to receive them. Gomes lost by 250 votes where the absentee ballots put Ganim over the top. Gomes is running as an Independent against Ganim in Tuesday's election. The two individuals, one is the vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee and works for the city and the other is a former city councilwoman, pleaded the 5th when asked what they were doing in the videos at a hearing.
In the context of this case, it's very obvious that they were committing voter fraud rather than merely committing a technical violation of Connecticut law on the delivery of absentee ballots. For example, the two districts they were reported to have delivered absentee ballots in had much higher absentee voter turnout than the other districts.
Hopefully Bridgeport just rejects the fraudster and is done with the whole episode.
