Cynthia mckinney finds irregularities in runoff { July 2006 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=82977 http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=82977 McKinney Rallies Her Supporters Reported By: Karyn Greer Web Editor: Leigha Baugham Last Modified: 8/7/2006 10:37:01 AM As the deadline for Tuesday’s runoff elections approaches, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is stepping up her presence to get her supporters out to the polls as she takes on former Dekalb Commissioner, Hank Johnson. In a much-publicized Democratic race for the 4th Congressional district, McKinney and her supporters canvassed the district with big signs and a bright red motor coach asking for support. While McKinney made headlines for allegedly shoving a Capitol Police Officer last spring, her steadfast supporters say that McKinney remains their choice to represent them in Washington, D.C. “I’m making sure I vote for Cynthia McKinney. Because we need more strong black women in office and she’s the type of person that, I feel that, you know, she speaks what she says, what’s on her mind and we need more women in office like that,” said Kimberly Milsap. Standing along side the incumbent was Congresswoman Corrine Brown of Florida, who came to town to help McKinney remain in her seat. On the issues, McKinney was excused from voting on a bill that would raise the minimum wage, but did vote for the renewal of the Voting Rights Act. “I was on the floor, and I voted for final passage of the Voting Rights Act,” said Congresswoman McKinney. McKinney believes she has done quite a lot for her district this last term. “Over $350 million has been brought to my constituents during my tenure in Congress. We are also very proud to have brought to the city of Clarkston $4 million just for their transportation needs,” said Congresswoman McKinney. McKinney went on to say: “we got money for green space, nature trails, the HOV lane extension from Dekalb County through Rockdale County was requested by me as a part of our transportation initiatives and money for MARTA.” Lately, McKinney has been in contact with the Justice Department about what she feels were irregularities in the primary that may have cost her the election. “We just received yet another complaint today, from a voter who went to the polls and my name was not on the ballot. My opponent’s name was on the ballot, but my name was not on the ballot. So she’s filling out an affidavit right now and that will become a part of our record. We’ve already had intense discussions with the United States Department of Justice,” said Congresswoman McKinney. Tuesday’s election will determine who will represent the Democratic party in the 4th Congressional district come November, but McKinney remains upbeat. “We refuse to lose our strong, uncompromising, committed voice in Washington,” said McKinney.
