In North Carolina, there was an actual physical attack by one candidate for the State Legislature on his opponent. The Democrat candidate punch his GOP rival when they met on the street. The Democrat was upset because there had been publicity in the district reporting on the Democrat's activities in the 1990s when he allegedly gave out recruitment literature for the Ku Klux Klan. I haven't bothered to check out all the details of the charge, but it was definitely news some twenty years ago when the Democrat was fired as a middle school teacher for such alleged activity. Needless to say, being a former recruiter for the Klan does not play well with most voters, so it is understandable that the Democrat would be upset that this news was out. Nevertheless, punching one's opponent is probably not the best way to deal with the problem, especially since there is no known tie between the GOP candidate and the news breaking in the district.
Finally, we have something political that makes the presidential election campaign look good by comparison.
