Name McKinney victor, crossover voting suit asks

I don't think this will fly. They're playing the race card, trying to say that non-black voters voting in the primary violated black people's civil rights. Uh-huh. At any rate, Georgia doesn't require people to register as members of any party, and all primaries are open. And McKinney lost by a lot; the odds are she would have lost without any "organized attempt" to cross over.

Alabama once had a situation where the Democratic gubernatorial runoff was overturned because of crossover voting. But that was a runoff, where people who had voted in the GOP primary switched. It was a little different situation.
