Show Notes
Connecticut lawmakers initiate public hearings on election bills, aiming to prevent harassment and intimidation at polling places. The proposed legislation includes banning federal agents from arresting voters near polls, criminalizing weapon possession near voting sites, and requiring officials to alert the attorney general about subpoenas for records. Meanwhile, the state rolls out no-excuse absentee voting, following voter approval of a constitutional change. The push comes amid a significant absentee ballot scandal in Bridgeport, leading to a proposed measure to bar those convicted of election crimes from handling absentee applications for up to twelve years.
