A failed Republican state legislative candidate was arrested in connection with a series of drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

A failed Republican state legislative candidate who authorities say was angry over losing the election last November and made baseless claims that the election was "rigged" against him was arrested Monday in connection with a series of drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in New Mexico's largest city.

Deputy Commander Kyle Hartsock said at least five people, including Pena, were involved in the shootings. Pena is accused of paying the others to carry out at least two of the shootings, according to Hartsock, before "Pena himself" allegedly "pulled the trigger" during one of crimes. A criminal complaint outlining the exact charges against Pena was expected to be released in the coming days.

Liberals reach ‘new high’ as share of Democratic PartyPay attention: The number of Democrats who identify as politically liberal has reached a new high, says a Gallup poll. Anecdotally that's not surprising. Centrist Democrats are becoming a thing of the past. How do you find common ground for compromise? Not likely. But maybe fear of this will drive more GOP voters to the polls.
