Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim just won the Democratic primary in Bridgeport , Connecticut .
John Gomes , a city employee fired by Ganim , claims Ganim stole the election by tampering with mail-in ballots.
Ganim won the absentee votes 1,545 to 779 , securing a victory in the primary by 251 votes.
The State Elections Enforcement Commission just recommended criminal charges for three people connected to Ganim’s campaign.
Frida Ghitis: Confirmation that elections in Bridgeport , Connecticut were being stolen through the use of mail-in ballots would blow a huge hole in the absurd partisan narrative that “there is no evidence that mail ballots increase electoral fraud” She says the State Elections Enforcement Commission sat on its hands because it would rather let the mayor of Bridgeport possibly steal an election than affirm that Republicans have a point about the connection between absentee ballots and fraud.
Ghitis says the state election commission rushed out a report recommending criminal indictments just over two weeks before the primary election almost a full four years later .
