Connecticut Dem Indicted for Voter Fraud

A Connecticut Democrat has been charged with multiple counts of voter fraud after allegedly stealing the identities of numerous tenants in his building to boost his run for city council.

"The right to vote and have one's vote counted in a fair and impartial election is the foundation of our democracy," acting U.S. attorney Leonard C. Boyle said in a statement.

Democrats have attacked concerns over voter fraud as conspiratorial and denounce efforts aimed at increasing election integrity as racist forms of voter suppression.

The Biden administration has filed a lawsuit to prevent Georgia from enacting an anti-voter fraud bill in the wake of the 2020 election, while Texas state lawmakers fled to Washington, D.C., in an effort to block ballot-integrity measures.

Federal officials accused DeFilippo of conspiring to "Injure and oppress voters in the free exercise and enjoyment of the right to vote" in the 2017 Bridgeport city council election.

He used his status as a landlord to steal voter registrations and absentee ballots from the college students living on his property.

"The allegations in this case are shocking, and plainly show how vulnerable absentee ballots can be to fraud and why securing them is so crucial. Election fraud disenfranchises voters, casts doubt on elections, and makes voters less likely to participate in democracy."
