The Battle of Athens, Tennessee, 1946 (sometimes called the McMinn County War) is a true incident of a group of people, many WWII vets, that wouldn't take it any more. The only person charged was a deputy who shot a black man trying to vote. After a legitimate vote count, "Each veteran candidate won at a proportion of roughly two votes to everyone against."
Pretty hard to get away with it these days.
An excerpt:
They demanded that Cantrell and Mansfield count the ballot boxes in public. It is hard to pin down exactly how the conflict started, but White claims he fired the first shot.
Veterans took up positions on nearby rooftops and rained fire down on the jail.

Unfortunately, without these method types to enforce good behavior, the bad people will keep doing things like this.
