An unidentified campaign worker for Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim has been referred to criminal prosecutors in connection with the city's ongoing ballot fraud scandal.

Two voters filed a complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission claiming that a woman admitted to illegally collecting absentee ballots.

According to the complaint, one voter said the woman told her that "she hoped she voted for Ganim on Row A or that she would be upset with her."

On Wednesday, SEEC voted to forward the complaint to the Chief State's Attorney for possible criminal charges.

Seven people, including three current or former Bridgeport City Council members, already face election fraud charges.
