CONCORD, N.H. --A jury convicted a former national Republican official of two telephone harassment charges for his role in a phone-jamming plot against New Hampshire Democrats on Election Day 2002.
The federal jury Thursday acquitted James Tobin of a third charge, the most serious against him, of conspiring against voters' rights.
Tobin, 45, of Bangor, Maine, was regional political director to the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the 2002 election, the year of a closely watched Senate race between Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican John Sununu. Sununu defeated Shaheen, 51 percent to 46 percent.
Tobin was President Bush's New England campaign chairman last year, but resigned when the allegations became known.
