McKinney watches documentary

By Mae Gentry | Tuesday, July 18, 2006, 09:40 PM

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was watching a documentary called “American Blackout” with about 50 of her supporters at the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Center...

She was seated next to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan...

Update!

From the DNC's Associated Press (excerpted):

Controversial McKinney in tight race, facing possible runoff

ERRIN HAINES

Jul. 18, 2006

ATLANTA - Democratic firebrand Rep. Cynthia McKinney was in high spirits Tuesday night, dancing and playing a tambourine as election results showed her with a tight lead over a former DeKalb County Commissioner with roots in the heart of her core constitency.

With 80 percent of the precincts reporting, McKinney was leading with 47 percent of the vote to lawyer Hank Johnson's 45 percent. One of the candidates will need to get more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff on Aug. 8.

Tuesday's primary was the first time that McKinney faced voters since her scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer in March.

At her campaign party, McKinney continued to flaunt her record of outspokenness on the Iraq war. She entered the auditorium with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan...

But it might be that Ms. McKinney's celebration was a little premature.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (excerpted):

Sheehan, McKinney, and CodePink's Media Benjamin.

McKinney, Johnson appear headed for runoff

By Travers Johnson | Tuesday, July 18, 2006, 08:58 PM

As election results poured in, U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and Democratic challenger Henry C. “Hank” Johnson, Jr. appeared headed for a runoff in the 4th District race...

Of course a Democrat will win that gerrymandered seat anyway.

So I'm rooting for Ms. McKinney myself.

Should be "Medusa"

That’ll work too.

A buddy o’ mine specialized in photoshopping older paintings, for example (IIRC) Caravaggio’s Medusa with Hillary’s head.

One of the local Atlanta channels reported last night McKinney's lawyers were taking depositions from people who had their votes switched for Johnson, and this was early in the evening, before McKinney even knew she didn't win.

Surely, surely, the MSM will have to acknowledge McKinney's complaints are bogus.

Tried to send this msg to Diebold, but their email/web site is failing.... Hmmn.

"I strongly suspect Cynthia McKinney (democrat, GA) of deliberately promoting voter fraud theorires to explain her defeat in the democrat GA primary yesterday.

For example, her official web site is claiming that MIDWAY THROUGH THE VOTING DAY, that votes FOr mcKinney were being recorded for her opponent.

If her claims were true, shouldn't McKinney heself be able to explain how precinct workers in her own primary were able to determine how many votes were being cast FOR her, and how many were being cast FOR her opponent when your ballot boxes and ballot machines were sealed during the day? As I understand the process, no total nor any "running tally" of votes actually cast is generated, printed, displayed, or accessible during the times the polls are actuallopen.

Totals are availble only to precinct workers (who we hope are honest) after all machines are totalled at the end of the day. So, if McKinney is claiming that hour-by-hour votes are going to her opponent, isn't that itself immediate evidence that the precinct workers (and precinct judges) ARE dispalying and manipulating the machine totals?

Respectfully, Robert Cook

"Media Benjamin? Her name is "Media?" How nice for her."

I thought they were all named "Media" as in "Media Whore".

This in the city of Atlanta? Sheesh, and I guess that Democrats vote for them while whining that Bush is "dividing the country". I really dislike the three of them, especially the self-parody of McKinney.

Let's fix typo's ... McKinney's website is claiming that the Diebold voting machines changed votes for her, into votes for her opponent. According to the AJC, her lawyers are already taking depositions from people who claim their votes were swapped.

I strongly suspect Cynthia McKinney (democrat, of course) of deliberately promoting voter fraud theories to explain her defeat in the democrat GA primary yesterday.

So, her official web site is claiming that MIDWAY THROUGH THE VOTING DAY, that votes for McKinney were being recorded for her opponent.

If her claims were true, shouldn't McKinney herself be able to explain how precinct workers in her own primary were able to determine how many votes were being cast FOR her, and how many were being cast FOR her opponent when your ballot boxes and ballot machines were sealed during the day? As I understand the process, no total nor any "running tally" of votes actually cast is generated, printed, displayed, or accessible during the times the polls are actually open.

So, if McKinney is claiming that hour-by-hour votes are going to her opponent, isn't that itself immediate evidence that the precinct workers (and precinct judges) ARE displaying and manipulating the machine totals? If her (democrat) precinct workers or election judges were NOT viewing and totalling votes as they occurred - then specifically ASKING the voters who had just voted who they "intended" to vote for, how else could they claim to know votes were swapped?

(Decatur) After one hour of voting, the McKinney campaign has received numerous calls that the voting machines are malfunctioning.

A preview of what is to come all over the country. The Dems will try to steal the election while blaming the Republicans for trying the same.

What's up with the Shindys'(they're both sh*theads) and their healthy looking appearance? They don't look like they're starving, but cornfed.

Cynthia McKinney could give one nightmares with those rolling eyes of hers...
