A Republican member of the Maryland State Board of Elections has resigned after being arrested by the FBI this week on felony and misdemeanor charges for participating in rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Carlos Ayala was arrested on Tuesday in Maryland, according to court records. He was charged with civil disorder, a felony, and related misdemeanor charges and released on personal recognizance.

Michael Summers, the chair of the state elections board, said in a statement Thursday he has accepted Ayala’s immediate resignation.

Another Republican with no integrity. It's their brand after all!

An added bonus: he was recommended for the job by the Maryland Republican Party. Surprising if you only know the party based on Larry Hogan, not surprising if you look at the top of the ballot during the last election cycle.
