bytes and ballots

The LA Times has a story this morning, "O.C. candidate has serious image problem." The story is about a candidate running for an Orange County (CA) supervisorial seat; someone in his campaign, or associated somehow with his campaign, doctored a photo so that the candidate (Trung Nguyen) is shown right behind Governor Schwarzenegger. I just wonder how often this sort of thing happens these days with campaign photos like this.
