Connecticut Judge Orders New Mayoral Primary After Surveillance Videos Show Possible Ballot Stuffing

A judge in Connecticut has ordered a new mayoral primary after surveillance videos showed possible ballot stuffing during the previous election. The judge cited video evidence of people stuffing multiple absentee ballots into outdoor collection boxes, which is a violation of state law. The ruling comes just days before the general election, creating a situation where voters will decide the general election and then later participate in a new primary for the same race. The judge emphasized the need to address the malfeasance and ensure a legitimate result.
