Tracker makes big mistake

Another day, another overexuberant tracker.

In this case, a video tracker for the Indiana GOP followed a local judge for 16 miles by car, mistakenly thinking he was Republican Senate nominee Richard Mourdock’s Democratic foe. The alarmed judge then went to the police.

From The Indianapolis Star report:

Kurt Holland was enlisted to follow Democratic Senate nominee Joe Donnelly in hopes of catching him in an embarrassing situation. Turns out it was Holland who committed the faux pas. Instead of following Donnelly he was following Marion County Judge Jose Salinas. Oops.

Holland told the Star his tracking days are now over. “Frankly,” he said, ““I find [tracking] undignified.”

UPDATE: The post has been updated to clarify that the tracker was working for the Indiana GOP.
