   voting is going into the illegal voters bonus or “paying pockets” as liberal tv station http://www.11alive.com says happens in Georgia.

   but it’s looking real good with most of the third democrat’s votes and many of the new to this primary breaking AGAINST McKinney and to Johnson. even with late precinct box stuffing it’s looking real tough for McKinney!

   Hank Johnson Defeats McKinney

   Former two-term DeKalb County commissioner Hank Johnson declared victory over incumbent Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Tuesday night as 87 percent of the precincts reported his lead at 59 to 41 percent (check the latest results). Technical problems that earlier delayed results in the 4th District were later fixed. (read related story).

   “I’m feeling pretty good,” Johnson told 11Alive’s Duffie Dixon during a live Webcast at 10 p.m. “I’m just so happy for all of the volunteers who’ve worked so hard to bring this victory to fruition. We’re looking forward now to November.”

   It was McKinney’s first reelection campaign since her scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer in March. At the McKinney headquarters at the Omega Center in Decatur, 11Alive’s Donna Lowry reported during a live Webcast for 11Alive.Com that McKinney’s supporters had gathered to celebrate. It was not known when or if McKinney would address the crowd.

   The precincts that typically show the most support for McKinney in South DeKalb County would be among the last to report results Tuesday night. However, 11Alive’s Denis O’Hayer pointed out that Johnson represented part of South DeKalb as county commissioner and would pick up votes there as well. The Associated Press declared Johnson the winner at 11:09 p.m.

   At the Johnson camp at the Holiday Inn in Decatur, the Democratic nominee’s supporters countered attacks by McKinney that most of Johnson’s financial support came from Republicans who simply want McKinney out of office.

   “The bulk of the money, the overwhelming majority of his support has come from the district,” said long-time supporter Barbara Ingram.

   The number of donations topping $1,000 for the Johnson campaign had surged in the time between the primary and runoff, 11Alive’s O’Hayer reported.

   After her return to Washington, the typically controversial McKinney kept a relatively low profile until the scuffle with the officer captured national headlines. A grand jury found no reason to indict McKinney for criminal wrongdoing. However, Johnson seemed to benefit from the negative publicity and landed within just 1,700 votes of McKinney in the three-candidate primary.
