Connecticut lawmakers propose tightening absentee ballot laws with mandatory surveillance cameras, improved tracking, and poll worker protections, following a ballot stuffing incident.

Connecticut lawmakers are taking initial steps to tighten absentee ballot laws, following last year's video incident where people stuffed reams of ballots into collection boxes in Bridgeport. The proposed changes include mandatory surveillance cameras at absentee drop-boxes, improved tracking of ballots, and new protections for poll workers. This comes after the bill easily cleared the House of Representatives.
