At first I wondered how or why Democrat voters keep voting for these politicians, but at this point I can't even assume that's what's actually happening

5 Democrat politicians and operatives have been arrested in Connecticut's largest city for ballot fraud. Some were caught on video stashing stacks of ballots into boxes in 2023 during the Democrat primary.
One of them, a Democrat politician, was arrested in 2019 for doing the exact same thing

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A city councilor in Connecticut was arrested Friday on 10 additional counts in connection with an investigation into absentee ballot tampering in the state’s largest city, officials said.

Bridgeport City Council member Alfredo Castillo was among five Democratic politicians and operatives charged earlier this year with tampering with absentee ballots in the 2023 Democratic primary election. Claims of misuse of the ballots spurred a court-ordered rerun of a mayoral primary and general election and helped fuel skepticism about the security of U.S. elections

The new counts against Castillo include multiple counts of possession of restricted ballots and envelopes, failure to sign as assister on an absentee ballot and misrepresenting eligibility requirements for voting by absentee ballot, Chief State’s Attorney's office said

Frank Riccio, said he’ll “study the evidence the State claims it has and determine if their case holds water.”

Police have said that in the run-up to the 2023 primary, surveillance videos showed people on several occasions stuffing what appeared to be multiple absentee ballots into city collection boxes

Castillo and other defendants have also been accused of illegally helping voters fill out ballots and telling them who to vote for, according to arrest warrants.

Castillo was previously charged with similar absentee ballot crimes connected to the 2019 election.
