Hey! You’re supposed to wait until the general election to do that!
A man who narrowly lost a bid to be the Democrat nominee in the upcoming mayoral race in Bridgeport, Connecticut, has announced that he intends to contest the results of the primary vote after surveillance footage suggests that election fraud may have taken place.
On September 12, incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim narrowly edged out Democrat challenger John Gomes by a mere 251-vote margin. Primary Election Day ballots favored Gomes, but after absentee ballots were tallied later that evening, Ganim prevailed over Gomes, 4,212 to 3,961.
Gomes, a 52-year-old immigrant from the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Western Africa, never conceded the race. Then, four days later, his campaign posted a video to its Facebook page that appears to contain footage from Bridgeport’s City Hall. The message attending the video calls it “video surveillance proving that the mayoral election was unequivocally stolen through corruption within City Hall by tampering with absentee ballots.”
On the video, a woman wearing a light-colored dress and shoes appears to make repeated trips to a ballot box stationed outside City Hall. While there, she appears to deposit stacks of what Gomes has alleged to be “absentee ballots.” Time stamps for the video indicate she makes three stops at the box early in the morning on September 5: once at 5:42 a.m., then again about a minute later, and a third time at 6:39 a.m.
The video also indicates she stood by and watched as a man, reportedly a city employee, appeared to make yet another deposit at the ballot box around 7:18 a.m.
Strangely, when Democrats themselves engage in disputes over voter fraud, video evidence and witnesses are suddenly considered “credible.” This is quite a stark contrast to their reactions when witnesses and hours of footage suggested potential cheating during the 2020 (and 2022) elections.
When the right raises concerns about cheating, the left, including their state-run media stooges, collectively repeat the “there’s no evidence” narrative, saying it over and over, as if repetition equals truth.
