Fatigue and frustration as final do-over mayoral election looms in Connecticut's largest city

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Nearly four months after a judge tossed out the results of a Democratic mayoral primary in Connecticut’s largest city and ordered a new election, the race remains in limbo. With a do-over general election set for Tuesday, the fourth time registered Democrats will have voted in this protracted race, many Bridgeport voters just want it to be over. The judge cited surveillance video showing mishandled absentee ballots in his decision. Those videos have fueled skepticism about the security of U.S. elections. In the final days of this race, incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim has picked up key endorsements, including from Gov. Ned Lamont.

Connecticut Technical Education and Career System under investigation by U.S. Department of Education
(WFSB) – The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System is under investigation by the United States Department of Education.
In a letter sent to the superintendent obtained by Channel 3, the nature of the investigation centers around the district’s handling of rape and/or sexual assault cases by school staff.
“Due to the District’s inaccurate responses to the rape and/or sexual assault data elements involving allegations against school staff of OCR’s 2023–24 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the directed investigation will examine whether the District has policies and procedures in place to ensure accurate data collection and reporting and that its handling of the sexual harassment, including sexual assault, of students by District teachers, administrators, and/or staff members is consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation,” said the letter in part.
