Prosecutors charged four Democrat political operatives on Tuesday with abusing the absentee balloting system during the city’s 2019 Democratic primary for mayor, the Connecticut Mirror reported.
Geter-Pataky became the face of another major election scandal last year, as Slay News reported at the time.
The Connecticut Chief State’s Attorney also charged Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds, two other campaign workers who were involved in the 2019 primary between Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim and his Democratic challenger, Marilyn Moore.
It took several years to finally arrest the Democrats who engaged in election fraud in 2019,
