Can Elections Be Overturned for Voter Fraud?

The topic of discussion for this Constitution Monday is voter fraud. Donald Trump and his supporters are in deep trouble because they claimed there was fraud in the 2020 presidential election. No one believed them then, and no one believes them now. However, evidence of election fraud continues to come out.

Eva Terry at the Deseret News reported recently that voter fraud was confirmed in a Connecticut mayoral election, enough to convince a judge to toss the results and order a new vote. 

Leading up to the Sept. 12 primary election, 420 people cast 1,255 absentee ballots at four drop boxes, the Deseret News reported. Under Connecticut Law, absentee votes must be delivered either by relatives and caregivers or sent by mail, but surveillance footage shows a woman on Ganim’s campaign staff, allegedly Wanda Geter-Pataky, stuffing a ballot box with white envelopes.

Connecticut Superior Court Judge William Clark wrote in the Nov. 1 court ruling, “The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary.

“The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties,” he added.

Clark wrote, “To disregard the significant mishandling of ballots by partisans that were caught on video flouting the provisions of Connecticut law … endorse(s) this blatant practice of ballot harvesting.
