Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim was reelected in the general election in November, but a judge ruled that there was "shocking" evidence of ballot harvesting, when a third party collects and returns many ballots, enough for a redo of the Democratic primary, which took place in September. If Ganim does not win the nomination next month, the town will have another mayoral general election in February, with his opponent as the nominee.
Video surveillance of a Ganim supporter showed them appear to drop stacks of absentee ballots into a drop box. Connecticut has strict laws regarding who can turn in someone else's ballot, but ballot harvesting itself is illegal.
