“Good. Here in one-party Democrat rule Connecticut, the home of ‘Wanda from Bridgeport’, there is a refusal to enact election integrity safeguards.

Nearly a year ago, Republicans urged Attorney General Bondi to investigate Bridgeport’s election and voting apparatus to determine whether these fraudulent practices are being replicated elsewhere in Connecticut.
