Sen. Sampson Statement on Newly Unsealed Voter Registration Complaint

October 21, 2024

Sen. Rob Sampson, Ranking Senator on the Government Administration and Elections Committee, issued the following statement regarding a newly unsealed complaint which alleges that a Bridgeport city councilman convinced a woman who is not a United States citizen to illegally register to vote in 2023 and persuaded her to apply for an absentee ballot that he cast for her.

“When will one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at our State Capitol admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees?

And by the way: it’s not just a ‘Bridgeport Problem’. You can bet it’s been happening in other municipalities.

We need reform in Connecticut’s absentee voting process. Republicans and I have been shouting from the rooftops about this for a long time prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment.

Now, we have this news.

Are you sick of seeing it?

Then, as you head to the polls to vote, consider how Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ common sense ideas to fix this obviously broken system.

Absolutely nothing will change in Connecticut if you keep voting for Democrats.

The power to create change is in your hands.
