From Brian Lockhart, CT Post:
The state’s top criminal prosecutor is scrutinizing whether a city councilman already facing trial on election fraud charges from 2019 interfered with curbside voting during last November’s municipal election.
More specifically William Smith, a lawyer for the commission, asked that group’s members to forward the Castillo matter to the latter agency “for consultation” along with “any evidence of possible criminal violations related to potential election law violations discovered in the course of the commission’s investigation.”
Castillo, who did not respond to requests for comment, has served on Bridgeport’s 20-person legislative body since 2013 representing the Hollow neighborhood. And he was on the Nov. 7, 2023 ballot for another two-year term.
That election day Callie Heilmann, who helps run the Bridgeport Generation Now civic group and its political offshoot, Generation Now Votes, submitted a complaint about Castillo to the Office of the Secretary of State. In it Heilmann claimed Castillo, in violation of state elections law, “has been driving voters to the polls and doing curbside voting with them while he stays in the car. He has also been observed rolling his windows up while voters are in the car with their ballots.”

The silence is deafening..
This guy should definitely be off of the CC — and probably in jail. (In any other time and place…)
In Bpt,if you help the DTC with its absentee operation,you get rewarded, not scrutinized.Wanda got a years salary & continued benefits for “ helping out”.. And now Castilllo gets immunity..No one,except Matt McCarthy has said a word about Castillo.Not a word from Joe,not a word from Aidee.Why is this??.What secrets does Castillo hold??
What happens first? Does the FBI get him? Or do the people of his district stop electing him? Either way, he needs to go away.
Matt,even if some in his district stop voting for him,he is a main player in the absentee operation,votes aren’t a problem for him..Why doesn’t Joe,or Aidee demand his resignation is the real question??.. Are they afraid of him going scorched earth? That could be the only explanation..
Joe Ganim doesn’t want any of his AB cheaters to drop a dime on him, Especially going back to 2019. When he beat Sen Moore by 1500 Absentee ballots and lost on every voting machine in the city!
Looks like it’s Deja -’ vu all over again !
