Perhaps its not violence, but there were some sad and unethical things going on the Indiana Republican Primary. Here's the story that ran in the Evansville Courier-Press last Friday, May 26th:
GOP tampering unsolved http://www.courierpress.com/...
"Barring a confession or the emergence of new evidence, no culprit will be unmasked in the computer tampering mini-scandal that forced Vanderburgh County's top Republican to resign last month. Jennifer Hallowell, executive director of the Indiana Republican State Committee, said an investigation into the unauthorized alteration of Rep. Suzanne Crouch's profile in a national GOP database yielded no suspects."
I'll give you more specifics below the fold.
It appears that Brent Grafton, former GOP chairman, allowed someone to use his password into the "Voter Vault" database. Then Susan Crouch's challenger, Jon Fulton, conveniently used the changed information to attack Crouch.
"Then-GOP Chairman Brent Grafton came under fire for allowing Fulton and several unnamed party volunteers to use his log-in credentials to access a secure area of the Voter Vault database.
Grafton's password was enough to enable anyone who had it to edit Voter Vault's content.
Someone - Fulton vehemently denied it was him - altered Crouch's anti-abortion designation to say that she is "pro-choice."
Fulton's campaign then produced and distributed a flier with the false information, withdrawing it when the computer tampering came to light.
On April 27 - five days before the primary - Grafton resigned.
Hallowell said Republican Party investigators found it was impossible to track the unauthorized change in Crouch's profile to a specific computer.
It was possible only to determine that Crouch's profile was altered by someone using Grafton's log-in credentials, Hallowell said.
Hallowell said interviews with the volunteers to whom Grafton gave his log-in credentials were fruitless.
The GOP director refused to release a list of the names."
No surprise there. Pretty standard Repub denial.
