Democrats charged with election fraud
...
Democrats, long vocal in their opposition to claims of election fraud, are now facing serious allegations of their own. These charges, some dating back to 2021, add a new chapter to the ongoing national conversation about election integrity—an issue that has become a hot-button topic since the 2020 presidential election. While the Democratic Party has consistently dismissed claims of voter fraud, calling those who raise such concerns “election deniers,” recent developments in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Millbourne, Pennsylvania, have cast a shadow over the party’s stance on election security.
In Bridgeport, Connecticut, five Democratic Party members have been criminally charged with multiple counts of voter fraud at both the state and federal levels, stemming from allegations surrounding mail-in ballots. The charges come after an investigation revealed potential election malfeasance in Bridgeport’s Democratic mayoral primary in September 2023. The incumbent Democratic mayor, whose supporter was allegedly involved in ballot harvesting, won the redo elections that followed the scandal, although he denied any knowledge of the fraudulent activity.
The Connecticut Secretary of State took swift action, referring multiple cases of alleged election irregularities to the State Elections Enforcement Commission. Among those criminally charged are Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chairperson Wanda Geter-Pataky and Democratic City Council members Alfredo Castillo, Jazmarie Melendez, and Maria Pereira. A woman from Stratford has also been charged. Geter-Pataky faces the most charges, with 92 counts, including 42 related to the possession of ballots and envelopes, which are restricted under state law.
The charges filed against the accused include fraudulent voting, being present while voters filled out their ballots, and misrepresenting who is eligible to vote absentee. This isn’t the first time Geter-Pataky and Castillo have faced similar allegations. Both were criminally charged in connection with Bridgeport’s 2019 Democratic mayoral primary for allegedly taking possession of absentee ballots.

Meanwhile, in Millbourne, a small suburb of Philadelphia with a population of around 1,200, three politicians were indicted last Tuesday for attempting to manipulate the 2021 mayoral election through fraudulent mail-in ballots. The federal charges come after an investigation revealed that Mohammed Nurul Hasan, former vice president of the borough council, along with fellow politicians Mohammed Munsur Ali and Mohammed Rafikul Islam, allegedly conspired to illegally cast a number of mail-in ballots.

There is more.
Democrats have also alleged election fraud when they have lost elections. Hillary Clinton apparently did so after she lost the 2016 election. Some states are better at policing their elections than others. Texas has been relatively free of allegations of vote fraud in recent years.

Many prominent Democrats still claim voter fraud is not a real issue unless they are on the losing side, in which case the elections were "stolen."
