THIS IS HOW ELECTIONS ARE WON IN HARTFORD

The following complaint arises out of allegations of absentee ballot fraud for the upcoming Democratic Town Committee elections coming up on March 6th.

More on this as information is developed, but the complaint and statement seem to be pretty clear in their alleged charges.

Kevin, you are in part correct. Mudslinging with no regard for the facts or for the reputation of the people who get trashed by the mudslinging have long been a staple of Hartford politics and the means by which unscrupulous people have tried to win (and have probably won) elections.

As for the veracity of this "clear" complaint, the Courant story reveals a number of fatal problems with these allegations, not the least of which is that absentee ballots are never handed by the clerk's office to anyone (and there are records on hand that show these were in fact mailed) and the ballots which were allegedly taken from the complaining witness and hand-delivered to the clerk were, in fact, mailed to the clerk.

You should go to the Clerks' Office and look at the papers on file. I am told they confirm this pretty clearly and they also expose other serious flaws in the allegations, including the alleged timing of certain events.

I'm not sure how an envelope with a postmark in the Clerk's office proves how the ballot was handled the moment before it was dropped in a mailbox?

That being said I'm sure Clorinda and Marc can just come forward and state that they were never at the woman's home and never touched any forms connected to those absentee ballots. Unless they were....

It was sad to read the complaint and accompanying Affadavit naming Marc DiBella as accompanying Clorinda.Perhaps the only way to ascertain who is right here,either Rich or the Affiant,Ms Cruz,Mr Kane and his staff should investigate these allegations.

The people who file the complaint should check on where their state rep lives. And why is he campaigning only for himself and not is whole slate. The brothers have been mudslinging and dropping names every since they enter this town. Why!

The name Angel Morales alone brings up suspicion. He's been the biggest poverty pimp if I ever knew one. Convicted felon who now wants to run for office. Only in Hartford does that occur.

Bruce, it's not me or the affiant, it's the city clerk, who is in charge of absentee ballots, or the affiant, who is related to someone on Kelvin's slate. Also, as you know, the State's Attorney doesn't get involved in these things until SEEC finsishes its investigation and then only if SEEC thinks there may have been crminal wrongdoing. This is just mudslinging.
