As of January17, 2020 Vignarajah is the only individual Sinclair has sold airtime to as a

Candidate, even, though Vignarajah has not officially filed as a candidate.

Sinclair Broadcasting Group conspired with Patrick E. Gonzales, of 116 Woodside Avenue,

Riva, MD 21140, and others to advance a fraudulent poll attempting to increase the vote share of

Candidate Thirudran Vignarajah, thereby discouraging and or attempting to reduce the number

of voters who might vote against Thirudran Vignarajah.

Kai Jackson and Mary Bubala moderated WBFF45 City in Crisis town hall Jan. 9, 2020, at Saint

Frances Academy, tied to a Vignarajah donor; Sinclair scheduled booked and broadcast “City in

Crisis Town Hall” Meetings, but did not invite all candidates, nor was the platform opens to all

candidates.

Sinclair did not reveal that its corporate officers have made $12,000.00 in donations to

Vignarajah.

Sinclair, its officers, and employees did not disclose to the public that it had paid Patrick E.

Gonzales for its poll before broadcasting that poll to the public in accordance with §§ 317 and

509(a) of the Communications Act

Sinclair Broadcasting violated the equal access provisions of Section 315(a) of the

Communications Act and Section 73.1941 of the Commission’s rules require that if a station

allows a legally qualified candidate for any public office to use its facilities (i.e., make a positive

identifiable appearance on the air for at least four seconds), it must give equal opportunities to all

other candidates for that office to also use the station. Equal opportunities apply to all

commercial and non-commercial stations, as well as all legally qualified candidates for public

office (federal, state, and local) throughout their campaigns.
