Mckenney fined for election violations Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=71157 http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=71157 McKinney Fined for Violations Provided By: The Associated Press Last Modified: 10/29/2005 12:25:30 PM WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Election Commission said today that Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney must pay a $33,000 fine and reimburse as much as $72,000 to political donors after accepting excessive contributions in the 2002 election. The fine alone exceeds the total amount in McKinney's campaign account through September 30. It was part of a conciliation agreement between the Georgia Democrat and the FEC. The alleged illegal activity stems from McKinney's 2002 re-election campaign, which she lost in the Democratic primary to Denise Majette. McKinney was out of Congress for two years before winning the seat back in 2004 when Majette left to run for Senate. McKinney's spokesman, Richard Searcy, said he hadn't seen the report late today and had no immediate comment. The eight-page agreement, signed by McKinney's campaign treasurer, Joan Christian, says there were $106,425 in excessive contributions in 2002 -- $42,950 for the primary and $63,475 for the general. Because McKinney lost the primary election, all money collected for the general must be reimbursed. The agreement says McKinney's campaign reimbursed $34,199 of the excessive contributions but still owed $72,226 as of August 31, the date of the agreement. First elected to Congress in 1992, McKinney has seen her share of controversy as an elected official. She once questioned the "Negro tolerance" of Democratic Vice President Al Gore. She also suggested on a radio show that Bush administration officials had advance knowledge of the September 11th terrorist attacks but kept quiet, suggesting a possible profit motive for defense contractors.
