I did a search and didn't find that this had been posted yet.  If it has, please let me know and I will delete this.  I'm also in a time crunch, so this will initially be brief and I will try to fill it out later.

Barry Welsh, the Democratic congressional candidate running against Mike Pence in Indiana's 6th Congressional District, was attacked today by a Republican voter registration worker.  Barry was defending voter's rights as Republicans had decided that they wouldn't register some voters since the registration office was short-handed despite the fact that voters had registered on time.

Here's a link to the Muncie Star Press article detailing the scuffle.

A Republican voter registration deputy faces battery charges after he tackled a newspaper reporter and hit the Democratic 6th District congressional candidate after a contentious Delaware County Election Board meeting this afternoon.
