Wanda Geter Pataky, the woman at the center of the Bridgeport ballot fraud case, appeared in court Friday for violating the conditions of her bail.

Geter Pataky is accused of having contact with witnesses in other cases, which is violation of a court order.

In 2023, Geter Pataky was seen on video appearing to stuff absentee ballots into a ballot box. That video led to a judge ordering a redo of the Democratic primary for mayor.

She faces nearly 100 charges in connection with incidents relating to both the 2019 and 2023 Bridgeport mayoral primaries.

Geter Pataky was released in this latest case on $75,000 bond.
