 Add another to the list. Bridgeport City Councilwoman Anita Martinez has now been referred by state elections enforcement officials for possible criminal charges. The referral is over Martinez allegedly collecting absentee ballots and trying to help others fill out those ballots at a city senior housing complex last year. Only a family member or caregiver is allowed to handle another person's absentee ballot under state law. Martinez is also a candidate for state representative this year.
