Bridgeport Primary (Dem) (a mess..)

[phoebe]

The Bridgeport Democratic primary proved to be too close for comfort for one of the candidates.

Chris Caruso says his campaign workers were denied access to the ballot counting last night, even though Fabrizi's were not.

Caruso also says he's has gotten complaints about malfunctioning machines and older voters being told to simply vote the top line, which was Fabrizi's.

Rep. Chris Caruso,(D) For Mayor, says, "We had other situations where voters went into vote and were told they had already voted, that their names were checked off and in those cases the election official refused the individual to vote by a challenge ballot, which is allowed under state statute."

1. All politics are local..................
