.......have cornered the market with respect to political corruption. The Huffington Post is a liberal biased aggregator of news stories and does not hide that fact. Fox News on the other hand professes to be fair and balanced which we all know is total BS.
It's been 4 days now. Surely HuffPo has picked this story up by now. Can't find it on your usual national websites you say. Well, if they ever do run something resembling this I'll bet racism will factor in heavily in their analysis.

Bridgeport State Rep. Christina Ayala arrested on 19 voting fraud charges
HARTFORD >> State Rep. Christina “Tita” Ayala, D-Bridgeport, was arrested Friday on 19 voting fraud charges.
Ayala, 31, is accused of voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live, the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office said in a press release.
The arrest warrant affidavit also alleges Ayala provided fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district, according to the release.
Ayala, who represents the 128th District, was elected in 2012, replacing her cousin, Andres Ayala, who was elected to the state Senate. She chose to run for reelection earlier this year, despite the voting fraud investigation, but lost a four-way primary in August.
The Elections Enforcement Commission referred the case to the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney in October 2013, recommending criminal charges.
Ayala allegedly voted in various Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee elections, a municipal primary election and a state primary election between 2009 and 2012 in districts inconsistent with the location of her residence, according to the release. She is also accused of voting in the Bridgeport state general election in 2012 in a district where she didn’t live.
According to the Connecticut Post, Ayala’s mother, Santa, was also investigated by the Elections Enforcement Commission. The commission also recommended criminal charges be filed against Santa Ayala, the Democratic registrar of voters in Bridgeport, but none have been filed as of Friday.
Christina Ayala was charged with eight counts of fraudulent voting, 10 counts of primary or enrollment violations and one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
According to the release, fraudulent voting is a felony punishable by not less than one year or more than two years in prison and a fine of $300 to $500 per count. Primary or enrollment violations and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence are class D felonies carrying a maximum prison sentence of up to five years per count.
Ayala’s arrest is not her first run-in with the law since her political career began in 2012.
She was fined $350 for a hit-and-run car accident shortly after winning the 2012 Democratic primary for the House seat. She later got into a fight with her boyfriend and faced domestic violence charges, which were dropped after she completed counseling.
In this case, Ayala was released on a promise to appear in court Oct. 7 for her arraignment.

If FOX News can bring on Darth Vader to give him credit for taking out OBL, why should HP trash a Democrat for corruption?
"by many here" that there is no voter fraud is fucking bullshit.
Come to think of it, this proves it.
For those who actual read it of course....
Hear no evil, see no evil, HuffyPoo.
I can't remember anyone saying: "there is no voter fraud...". There have been some, including myself, that have said that the issue is not so significant to justify the cost of policing it any more than it is already, and making it more difficult to vote.
You can't remember anyone saying there is no voter fraud. Then you post link of propaganda newspaper saying basically just that.
Just because you put "basically" in front of a statement doesn't make it true. The author said: "Election fraud happens. But ID laws are not aimed at the fraud you’ll actually hear about. Most current ID laws (Wisconsin is a rare exception) aren’t designed to stop fraud with absentee ballots (indeed, laws requiring ID at the polls push more people into the absentee system, where there are plenty of real dangers). Or vote buying. Or coercion. Or fake registration forms. Or voting from the wrong address. Or ballot box stuffing by officials in on the scam." Then the author lists examples.
And, what specifically do you contest about the article. Just saying it's propaganda doesn't prove your point.
Do a Google search on voter fraud and see how many response you get that point to voter fraud as being a major problem vs. not being a major problem. Or better still, how about you coming up with articles or research that prove it is.
there ya go!!!
Let's call this what it really is, an effort to allow dems to stuff the ballot box
one does not "many" make! 
Makwa said: "So why does the GOP keep looking for nonexistent problems?" That not saying there is no voter fraud. But, rather the issue is is it a big enough problem to disenfranchise a great number of voters from a democratic voting process. I've not seen any evidence to justify it being considered a problem significant enough to do so. In short problem=orange, fraud=apples.
can't tell an orange from an apple. I just can't figure if you are truly that way, or just choose to come across that way!
still waiting for 1!
now run along!
The stated Repugnat voter fraud accusations are is entirely different.
Democrats don't do ANYTHING but lie and cheat. If you didn't live in a bubble you'd know about all the constant Democrat scandals that your brain controllers in the Media have filtered from your pool of knowledge.
And if you have ANY evidence of Fox News being biased then post it for once.
The reference to HuffPo was purely a humorous dig at matt since he ran away from our last dispute regarding HuffPo's distortion of the facts via their headlines. I apologize to those of you that don't follow matt's "Links of Distortion" posts.
Since you, just like HuffPo and a hundred other liberal "news" outlets, have not bothered to address the core facts in this particular case then I won't bother to bring them up again either.
Wasn't it you who accused me of arguing the person, not the issue? You are really full of yourself.
I guess that means I can take your last non-response as you running away!
Actually, I was trying to save you from being gonged (admin ending the tread) because of you beating a dead horse, from a time before.
Also the OP wasn't directed at anyone by name. Only when asked did I fully explain the reference. But if you're going to desert a lost discussion, you surely can't expect no retribution. My referen eabout you wasn't in the middle of a disscusion. It came long after your desertion. My earlier accusation about your tactics was an observation of your MO when you were in the middle of a discussion, after you had run out of ideas.
I'll try to remember your sensitivities and avoid such things.

They reported on Rod Wright's case!
"Well, if they ever do run something resembling this I'll bet racism will factor in heavily in their analysis."
Do you see that in this report?
