An incredible amount of work went into this project, we created a spreadsheet of every absentee ballot application submitted to the court, analyzed it for a deep look into the controversial Bridgeport election. ctmirror.org/2023/12/17/brid…

One of my fave things about the Mirror is reporters are given the time for engaged journalism. For a series on the effects of eviction on kids, that led to coloring pages to help kids talk about eviction. That's one example of the kind of work your donation makes possible!
