GOP Lawmaker Highlights New Allegations Accusing Councilman Castillo Of Persuading Non-Citizen To Register, Cast Absentee Vote For Her

Captured on video stuffing absentee ballots into drop boxes, arrested for alleged election law violations stemming from 2019 election, scalping Bridgeport taxpayers of thousands of dollars by registering cars in lower-taxed Shelton, allegations of abusing curbside voting, shouting at a Fairfield cop during a traffic stop: “Do you know who I am?” and now a new complaint against City Councilman Alfredo Castillo accusing him of prevailing upon a non-citizen to register to vote and casting her absentee ballot.

This drew a response from Republican State Senator Rob Sampson who sits on the Government Administration and Elections Committee:

Sen. Rob Sampson, Ranking Senator on the Government Administration and Elections Committee, issued the following statement regarding a newly unsealed complaint which alleges that a Bridgeport city councilman convinced a woman who is not a United States citizen to illegally register to vote in 2023 and persuaded her to apply for an absentee ballot that he cast for her.

“When will one-party rule Connecticut Democrats at our State Capitol admit and acknowledge what the rest of the state sees?

And by the way: it’s not just a ‘Bridgeport Problem’. You can bet it’s been happening in other municipalities.

We need reform in Connecticut’s absentee voting process. Republicans and I have been shouting from the rooftops about this for a long time prior to the viral Bridgeport ballot stuffing videos which made Connecticut a national embarrassment.

Now, we have this news.

Are you sick of seeing it?

Then, as you head to the polls to vote, consider how Connecticut Democrats have shown zero interest in ensuring election integrity and have repeatedly voted ‘no’ on Republicans’ common sense ideas to fix this obviously broken system.

Absolutely nothing will change in Connecticut if you keep voting for Democrats.

The power to create change is in your hands.
