U.S. Court overturns election over ballot stuffing, massive rigging

The U.S. where ex-President Donald Trump is facing trial for questioning the integrity of the country’s election, has found massive vote rigging in a recent election.

According to Associated Press, a judge on Wednesday tossed out the results of a Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city and ordered that a new one be held, citing surveillance videos showing people stuffing multiple absentee ballots into outdoor collection boxes.

In his ruling, Superior Court Judge William Clark addressed the incongruity by saying he lacked the authority to postpone or cancel the general election. However, he said he had seen enough evidence of malfeasance to order a rerun of a Sept. 12 primary in which incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim defeated his challenger John Gomes by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast.

He said: “The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark wrote in his ruling, adding that the videos “are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties.”
