Connecticut lawmakers have approved $150,000 for an election monitor for Bridgeport
Under the new legislation, the monitor will conduct inspections and investigations for the 2023 municipal election and the 2024 state election in Bridgeport. The possible electoral fraud incident is already the subject of a state elections investigation and a civil lawsuit filed by the candidate who lost the primary.
House Speaker Matt Ritter, a Democrat from Hartford, said his party takes the allegations of electoral fraud very seriously. Bridgeport Sen. Marilyn Moore, a Democrat who also lost a mayoral primary to incumbent Mayor Joseph Ganim in 2019 that’s currently under a separate criminal investigation, said the General Assembly should focus now on the election monitor and wait to hold a public hearing on other proposals.
