Fairfield Election Fraud Claims Rejected By State Commission

FAIRFIELD, CT — State regulators unanimously rejected a complaint alleging fraud against Fairfield election officials, according to the Connecticut Post.

Fairfield resident Paula Gallo brought the complaint, which was considered by the State Elections Enforcement Commission last week, and which referenced jammed tabulators and a duffle bag filled with ballots last November at Fairfield Warde High School during the presidential race, the Post reported.

The issues may have been caused by the town’s decision to save $10,000 by bundling ballot purchases and giving tri-fold ballots to voters at the polls, possibly creating an unusual number of tabulator jams, according to the Post. When machines were full, completed ballots were stored in canvas bags, the Post reported.
