CONNECTICUT—A Bridgeport city councilman and a Democratic Party operative were criminally charged on June 11 for allegedly unlawfully possessing another person’s absentee ballot.
Alfredo Castillo, 52, who represents Bridgeport City Council’s 136th District, and Bridgeport Democratic Party Vice Chairwoman Wanda Geter-Pataky, 67, were arrested this week following allegations they mishandled absentee ballots in the 2019 Democratic Party mayoral primary.
