The city's Democratic Town Committee overwhelmingly reelected Wanda Geter-Pataky its second-in-command Monday, despite her being the focus of a trio of state and local election investigations.
"The public convicted the lady without due process," longtime chairman Mario Testa, who nominated her and was also backed for another term in charge, said in an interview afterward. "Let it take its course. Then we see where we go from there."

An ally of Mayor Joe Ganim's, Geter-Pataky has been at the heart of an absentee ballot scandal that made national and international news and resulted in a new court-ordered mayoral primary Jan. 23 and a court-ordered Feb. 27 do-over general election. As a result she has, including Monday, repeatedly refused interviews and referred questions to her attorney, John Gulash.

Last fall Superior Court Judge William Clark voided Ganim's slim reelection victories in the Sept. 12 Democratic primary and the Nov. 7 general election and ordered new elections in part because of leaked municipal security video footage made public in September by Ganim's chief rival, John Gomes. Gomes claimed the videos showed Ganim-backer Geter-Pataky ahead of the primary inappropriately placing multiple absentee ballots into a public drop-off box outside of the downtown government center where she works as the greeter.
Following a three day trial initiated by a lawsuit by Gomes, Clark concluded, "Wanda Geter-Pataky, directly or through another, made 10 separate drops. ... They appear to be conscious acts with a partisan purpose that violates the mandatory requirements of how absentee ballots are supposed to be handled or delivered. The mishandling of absentee ballots by Ms. Geter-Pataky ... in violation of (state law) renders those ballots so mishandled, incapable of being validly cast and thus incapable of being counted."
