Meanwhile, while we await the findings of that long-overdue investigation, I can add that there is ample evidence that Ms. McKinney is dumber than rock salt and more repugnant than Yasser Arafat's three-week-old underwear.
Voter Ethics Violations Found against U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney
In December, the voted Georgia State Election Board twice, unanimously, to refer six (6) counts of electoral fraud and voter intimidation to a state administrative judge, stemming from eyewitness reports that U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) and her father, state Rep. Billy McKinney, entered a polling place on election day in November 2000, pled for votes, and harassed poll watchers. SLF President Phil Kent sent a state Open Records Act request to Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox earlier in the year, requesting all relevant investigative findings surrounding the events of November 2000.<b> Ms. McKinney was one of the most vocal critics of the November 2000 election, calling on federal investigators to look into alleged voter fraud in Florida. After receiving an incomplete investigative report from Cox's office, which found no wrongdoing, the State Election Board took sworn eyewitness testimony from several individuals who saw Ms. McKinney and her father harass and intimidate poll watchers who were observing voting after the polls had closed. SLF attorneys are working with the eyewitnesses in preparation for an administrative law hearing, which will be set in the spring. Kent told local media that "the time has come for accountability in the McKinney world of politics ... the law is there to protect them, and those who vote for them, but it is also there to ensure fair,
honest and open elections."
