There is no such thing as election fraud so I'm not sure the meaning of this article. Ask anyone at CNN and they will tell you!

LOL, Lotsa luck, Connecticut. It’s gonna be solid democRAT ‘til the end of time.

[Steely Tom]

Hey we need some reforms over here.

Nutmeg on the Nutmeg State.

Nutmeg on the Nutmeg State.

Yep. Finally bailed on The Nutmeg State after living most of my life there. Happily settled in the Free State of South Carolina now. :-)

It's hard to believe now, but CT did not have a state income tax until 1991. The state thrived for 300 years without one, now it has one of the highest income tax rates in the country.

Election Fraud in Bridgeport?

[nutmeg]

Oh, I know. I remember when "Republican" Lowell Weicker put that state income tax into place. I was there, and paid and paid and paid for decades.

now it has one of the highest income tax rates in the country.

...which is one of the top reasons my husband and I moved out of The People's Republik of Connecticut and relocated to South Carolina.

LOL!

Of course, the “temporary” income tax that was only supposed to last from 1991 until 1993.

As a resident of the “Constitution” state, Bridgeport is like the Chicago or Detroit in terms of Dem corruption.

I believe it was Dannel Malloy 2010 or 2014 election, where they ran out of ballots made copies of a “blank” ballot in the Dem Mayors office, and got a corrupt judge to let the “vote” for a extra hour or so.

Well, son of a bitch, like magic they had just enough votes to put Malloy over the top. Similar issues have happen in subsequent years as well.

2010 Dem wins by 6,404 votes
2014 Dems win 50.7% to 48.2%
2018 Dems win 49.4% to 46.2%
2022 Dems win 56% to 43.1%

In 2018 and 2022 Bob Stefanowski ran on eliminating the “temporary” income tax and a zero based budget. The left lost their minds and, of course, refused to even listen to the idea.

when they have found a way to steal they will never give up thier prize but by force

Tax money gives politicians a high no drug can match. And there is no cure.

The fraud will continue until the consequences visited upon the individuals caught doing it are elevated far beyond the proverbial ‘slap on the wrist’. Physical alteration, loss of job and/or assets, anything that makes a profound and negative impression on the perps way of life should be considered.

In the old days out West just about anything that upset the harmony of the township would get the instigator two choices: leave town and don’t come back or be the guest of honor at a ‘hemp and branch’ party. Of course violation of the first choice automatically invoked the second event, usually within a few hours. In either case harmony was quickly restored.

Something to consider ...

If they put VOTER ID law in, maybe Bridgeport wouldn't be as corrupt as it is. If the cities (Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven are the worst) didn't have the corruption, Connecticut could be a swing state.

Beautiful state, stupid voters.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

A Democrat has never seen a tax it didn’t like.

[Deplorable American1776]

I was at the Capitol protesting the income tax. I campaigned for Tom Scott and the Hartford Courant had a picture of me t his election headquarters (an old Datsun dealership on the Berlin Turnpike) celebrating when Newt became speaker of the House.

What a great night.

I moved to Florida. After my divorce, my parents invited me to move. They were retired, and my siblings were married, so I moved. Met Mrs Deplorable in Florida.

From what I'm hearing from friends in Connecticut, Biden is ahead in the polling by only 5%. Hope it is true. Of course, the poll didn't poll the dead...

The poll was from October.
