Crime sucks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack

A crazy cult back in '84 buys a ton of land in Oregon, forms a commune, and plans to overwhelm public votes for their own purposes (as they had done in another, small town, which they renamed after their cult leader). Faced with many more people that are not them, they bring in homeless people from other areas to their commune, not just to vote, but also for experimenting on. They have a full medical lab, and buy samples of contagious diseases, and infect the town with salmonella close to voting time to make all non-commune folks too sick to vote.

They had planned to infect people with typhus and a few other nasties, thank goodness they stuck with plain salmonella until caught. It's a lot spookier though, since they had poisoned officials that visited them, and had a list of people to kill that were against them. The town's population was terrified of them, being weird foreign cultists and homeless people, and kept saying the food poisoning was the fault of the cult, but to not look racist, they weren't investigated by officials until far later.
