Voters in California's 1st congressional district -- in the state's northeast corner -- tuned in early Thursday night to a live stream of a political forum intended to highlight two candidates running for office. What they got instead was a brief clip of gay porn, the result of the broadcast being hijacked by hackers. The forum managed to get through the introductions and opening statements of the candidates present for the event before getting disrupted by a few seconds of the inappropriate video. The event and the live broadcast was immediately shut down. The community forum only featured two of seven candidates running for office who both agreed to return for a redo on the debate before the June 5 primary.
