Daschle to the Finish
What happens if you hold an economic summit and no one notices? Also: McKinney crossed up.
(Page 2 of 2)
COUNTED OUT br> Perhaps it's been making life easier for outgoing Rep. Cynthia McKinney , believing that Republicans were responsible for her loss to Georgia judge Denise Majette in the Democratic primary. Initial reports from the Atlanta suburbs had indicated that Republican votes had swung the election away from the ultra-left-wing black congresswoman and into the hands of the more moderate Majette. /p>But now the flamboyant congresswoman doesn't even have that. Analysis of the votes in McKinney's district has revealed that she still would have lost (by a lot) even if no Republicans had voted in the Democratic primary. That kind of information wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it is for McKinney's supporters who have filed a federal lawsuit demanding that all Republican votes for Majette be disallowed.
The reason? McKinneyites claim that Republicans "took advantage" of Georgia's open primary system to vote for Majette. So much for voters' rights, eh Cynthia?
