He leads 397-134 very early, with 4% of precincts reporting.

1. Heard she'd been left off the ballots of some polling stations

And other irregularities. Georgia has a dirty election system.

2. Could this invalidate the entire election..

6. It should, but it won't

:(

5. Here's two posts that are on the greatest page

"I just got back from voting, and had trouble with the machine"

"McKinney being Diebolded; name not on ballot"

9. Thank you. nt

8. Raw Story has an article and found little to support the claim:

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/McKinney_campaign_claims_name_left_off_0808.html

Seeking to resolve these and similar issues, Sinkule said that it appears that most of the controversies involve people who couldn’t find Rep. McKinney on their ballots because they mistakenly believed they were in her district, or because they had registered to vote as Republicans. This does not seem to address the specific claim that fourth district ballots listed Johnson, but not McKinney.

Addressing a different allegation, she noted that, at one polling place, voting booths had been moved, but that this was done on-site with adequate signage to prevent incidences of confusion.

13. Thanks. That seems more likely. nt

15. Raw Story should talk to CatWoman

She says: "For some reason, the card kept telling them that I didn't belong to a political party :shrug: even tho I voted in the main primary."

[SPCAworks]

10. not going

well for CM... guess the "hate machine" and the rascist and sexist media did her in.

[greccogirl]

18. cynthia did

HERSELF in.

[Pastiche423]

20. Wrong!

Diebold did.

I hope she sues them and wins! It would be the biggest win for the Left, ever!

[beaconess]

21. Oh, give me a break.

She lost. Georgia voters didn't want her.

She won two years ago - I guess the conspirators couldn't get their sh*t together that time.

I'm sure it's convenient to blame conspiracies on everything that doesn't go your way - it absolves McKinney from any responsibility for losing her seat.

But I don't buy it.

She lost.

And I'm glad she did.

12. for those NON-Georgians

DEKALB is where McKinney's stronghold is... most liberal of all three counties... it's the only one not reporting yet, just fyi,

[Awsi Dooger]

14. Now 2466 to 873

Still no DeKalb and very early, but if it's this decisive elsewhere I'm skeptical she can make it up.

[Awsi Dooger]

16. McKinney is losing in DeKalb precincts also

Albeit narrowly, virtually 50/50 in the precincts counted to date. The count is very slow compared to CT.

She's cut the percentage but not the margin, trailing by more than 4000 votes. Still only 35% reporting.

19. Congratulations Congressman-elect Johnson!
