Need more info on GOP dirty tricks
Followup from a post of mine yesterday: I'm doing research on Republican dirty tricks. Besides the obvious ones well-known to the public (Rove, Atwater), what other GOP skullduggery are you aware of? Could be stuff that's occured on the local level.

Thanks graciously in advance.

1. Here's one from Wisconsin last year:
The Republican leadership in our state legislature forced our Democratic representatives to leave the Democratic National Convention early (before the Keynote events) to return home to vote on TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of Rights). This stunt came out of the blue as a last minute tactic by former Senate Majority leader Mary Panzer to try to save her seat from a primary challenge by more conservative (and ultimately successful)Glenn Grothman. Fortunately the bill failed.
