The Democrat voter fraud machine in Connecticut is crumbling under the weight of its own corruption after five Democrat operatives were indicted on voter fraud charges related to mail-in ballots in the 2023 mayoral primary in February.
And this week CT GOP lawmakers sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi to investigate the fraud and to see if the “election crimes in Bridgeport are part of a larger, coordinated effort to defraud voters statewide.”
Dozens of pages of arrest warrant affidavits, made public in February, outline the disturbing allegations against Councilwoman Maria Pereira, Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chair Wanda Geter-Pataky, City Councilman Alfredo Castillo, Councilwoman Jazmarie Melendez, and Stratford resident Margaret Joyce, according to Connecticut Post.
- Wanda Geter-Pataky: Vice Chairperson of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, facing 92 separate criminal charges, including conspiracy to unlawfully possess multiple voters’ absentee ballots.
- Alfredo Castillo: City Council Member, charged with multiple counts of misrepresenting eligibility requirements for absentee voting and unlawful possession of ballots.
- Maria Pereira: City Council Member, facing charges of fraudulent voting and being present during the execution of absentee ballots.
- Jazmarie Melendez: City Council Member, charged with misrepresenting eligibility requirements for absentee voting.
- Margaret Joyce: Stratford resident and campaign staffer, accused of unlawfully possessing absentee ballots.
These indictments stem from a comprehensive investigation into allegations of widespread absentee ballot tampering during the contentious 2023 Democrat mayoral primary between incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim and challenger John Gomes. Geter-Pataky and Castillo were supporters of Ganim, whereas Pereira and Melendez endorsed Gomes.
