4 Connecticut Democratic operatives charged in absentee ballot misuse investigation --One woman accused of wrongdoing in the case was previously subject to scrutiny over alleged 'ballot-stuffing' | 14 June 2024 | Four Connecticut Democratic operatives were charged this week with election-related offenses, including one woman who had been previously scrutinized over alleged "ballot stuffing" in a Bridgeport mayoral primary. Two campaign workers, along with Bridgeport City Council member Alfredo Castillo and Democratic Town Committee Vice Chair Wanda Geter-Pataky, were charged with unlawful possession of absentee ballots, among other offenses, according to multiple reports. Geter-Pataky was in-part accused of failing to sign as an "assister" on an absentee ballot application she had filled out on behalf of a prospective voter, according to an official statement on the case. Castillo was accused of misrepresenting eligibility requirements for voting by absentee ballot and failing to sign as an assister, among other allegations.
