Had this standard been held nationwide, Trump would be President and the country and the world would be a vastly different place – safer, stable and sane.
Without election reform, the country is finished. Done. Cooked.

An election was just overturned by a judge in Connecticut over mail-in fraud.
We only know about this because it was just a local Dem primary of no real consequence.
Mail-in ballots + zero ID + machine voting + millions of illegals is a recipe for permanent Democrat control.…

Court Overturns Ganim Win in Bridgeport Primary, Calling Evidence of Fraud ‘Shocking’
By: Sophia Muce, CT Examiner, November 1, 2023:
BRIDGEPORT – A judge ruled on Wednesday to overturn the city’s Democratic primary election, initially won by incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, following claims of absentee ballot fraud by his opponent, John Gomes.
After two weeks of evidentiary hearings for Gomes’s absentee ballot fraud lawsuit, Judge William Clark ordered a new Democratic primary based on 180 pieces of evidence presented by Gomes’s legal counsel.
In the 37-page ruling, Clark said the video footage presented by Bill Bloss – Gomes’s attorney – was particularly alarming.
“Mr. Ganim was also correct to be ‘shocked’ at what he saw on the video clips in evidence that were shown to him while he was on the witness stand,” Clark wrote. “The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties.
Ganin was one the many city officials called to the Fairfield Judicial District Superior Courthouse for questioning, along with Wanda Geter-Pataky, vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee and operations specialist for the city, and Eneida Martinez, a former City Council member accused by Gomes of stuffing ballot dropboxes.
At the witness stand, Ganim told the court he was “shocked” by an 18-minute video – subpoenaed by Gomes from Bridgeport police – that appeared to show 12 instances of Geter-Pataky either depositing stacks of ballots herself or handing ballots to others from behind her reception desk, and four instances of Martinez dropping off ballots.
Asked about the footage during the hearings, both Geter-Pataky and Martinez asserted their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination . Ganim, who appeared to win the primary by 250 votes after a count of absentee ballots, denied any involvement in the alleged fraud.
Under state election law, absentee ballots may be only returned by the ballot applicant, a family member, a police officer, an election official or a caretaker. Clark said the footage provides direct evidence that state law was violated when “unauthorized partisans” handled and submitted ballots.
In addition to the police footage, Bloss argued in court that many of the absentee ballots should never have been counted given that they were improperly stamped.
According to state law, Bloss argued, stamped ballots accepted by Town Clerk Charles Clemons should have included the date and time they were received and the Clemons’ signature. But many of the ballots presented by Bloss were missing the signature.
In a closing brief, the Office of the Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas – a defendant named in the lawsuit alongside Ganim, Clemons and Democratic Registrar of Voters Patricia Howard – argued that the court should reject the challenge to the absentee ballots.
Clark accepted the office’s recommendation, finding the stamp to be “substantially compliant.”
Still, the video evidence allowed Gomes to overturn the primary – the aim of his challenge in court – and in a statement, he reflected on his win.
“This is a victory for the people of Bridgeport,” Gomes said. “Our campaign always believed that the integrity of our democratic process must be upheld and Superior Court Judge William Clark agreed.”
On a Wednesday phone call with CT Examiner, Bloss said the new ruling is a “necessary first step” towards correcting absentee ballot misuse in Bridgeport.
“It’s a well-reasoned ruling. Very fact-intensive,” Gomes said. “I think Judge Clark’s expression of shock at the videos was something that many people shared – everybody except the city officials, frankly.”
