A group of Democrats has been arrested and charged with election fraud over an illegal scheme involving mail-in ballots.
Democrats were the first to shoot down any notion of widespread election fraud during the 2020 election.
However, Democrats are quick to reverse that stance when it’s their side that loses.
According to JustTheNews, a small group of Democrats based in Connecticut and Pennsylvania have been charged with election fraud for an illegal scheme dating back to 2021.
The charges were numerous and included violating both state and federal election laws regarding an issue with mail-in ballots.
The revelations only serve to prove that election fraud actually does happen.
It also reveals that Democrats seem to be charged with actual, criminal election fraud counts more so than Republicans.
The charges were filed against a group of five Democrats from Bridgeport and Philadelphia regarding their alleged roles in mail-in ballot fraud.
They have been charged with serious crimes at both the state and federal levels.
A massive ballot harvesting scheme in Bridgeport resulted in the city’s elections having to be redone last year, as Slay News reported.
JustTheNews noted:
“The incumbent Democratic mayor, whose supporter was the reason for the redo elections after allegedly committing ballot harvesting, won the redo elections.
“The mayor denied any knowledge of the alleged ballot harvesting.
“The Democratic Connecticut secretary of the state sent multiple referrals of alleged election malfeasance to State Elections Enforcement Commission from the redo general election last February.”
Those charged included Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chairperson Wanda Geter-Pataky and Bridgeport Democratic City Council Members Alfredo Castillo, Jazmarie Melendez, and Maria Pereira.
A woman from Stratford, Connecticut, was also charged.
Geter-Pataky won the “who got the most charges” contest with a staggering 92 in total.
Her charges include 42 counts of Possession of Ballots and Envelopes Restricted, according to the report
Some of the additional charges leveled against the Democratic Party members included “fraudulent voting, being present while voters filled out those ballots, and misrepresenting who is eligible to vote absentee.”
Two of the Democrats, Castillo and Geter-Pataky, were also criminally charged last year over an absentee ballot issue.
Chief State’s Attorney Patrick Griffin released a statement on the new charges leveled against the Democrats included in the group.
“The Office of the Chief State’s Attorney takes allegations of voter fraud seriously, and I commend the Statewide Prosecution Bureau’s investigative efforts that resulted in these arrests,” he said.
