    1. @lisawhite…………
      I know Bridgeport has its peculiarities when it comes to absentee ballots.
      My daughter was home from her job asea in early August. She went into the Trumbull Town Clerk, filled out her AB application, waited 5 minutes while they typed the envelopes and then handed her the ballot. She went into the records vault and voted, then sealed the envelopes and handed her vote in.
      Because she works on a moving ship and mail delivery is not predictable, the Town Clerk emails her ballot each November. She prints it, fills it out and sends it back by courier (DHL, FEDEX) when she hits a port.
      This email system is very accommodating, no dealing with lost or delayed mail.

    1. Frank, Mario was most likely getting a machine count- That is most legit and extremely normal on election day. It is usually an hourly thing at all polling places.
