“The embarrassing Connecticut headlines will continue for years and years.

That’s because one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at the State Capitol refuse to admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees: We need election integrity reform.

Republicans have been shouting from the rooftops about this even prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment.

Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ repeated efforts to fix this obviously broken system.

Bridgeport’s Democrat state senator has stated on the record that what we have seen in Bridgeport is not just happening in Bridgeport. It’s happening across many of our towns. A federal investigation is critical to ensuring integrity, transparency and accountability.

Connecticut Republicans will continue to call for election safeguards, including presenting identification when voting, ending the use of absentee drop boxes and signature verification for all.”
