Liberal billionaire George Soros is pouring money into a local election in Louisiana in the hopes of buying the election for a Democratic candidate, the Times-Picayune reports.

Soros has injected $256,000 into a Louisiana political race through a Super PAC based in Bossier City.
The Super PAC, Louisiana Safety & Justice PAC, has produced an ad benefiting James E. Stewart, a Democratic candidate and former judge in a six-way race for district attorney in Caddo Parish in north Louisiana. Soros has historically supported Democratic candidates and liberal causes.

The amount Soros donated to the Super PAC dwarfs the nearly $119,000 Stewart raised during the last campaign finance reporting period. It represents a huge amount of money poured into a race that has no statewide impact.

In addition to his heavy spending on elections, Soros funds left-wing groups that decry the corrosive influence of money in the political process.
