George, it used to be that way here. I think that Democrats had it changed
after Cynthia McKinney got run out of office a few years back, because her
district, the one I live in, covers most of Dekalb COunty and part of Gwinnett
County. The former is majority Black (last census, Whites were 8% of the
population), while Gwinnett is about 89% White. The White voters there, worried
about the prospects of a maverick like McKinney goign back to D.C. uncontested
didn't sit well with them, so the majority-GOP voters turned out in droves in
the primary to vote for McKinney's lesser-known Democratic opponent, a centrist
DeKalb County judge. McKinney was sent packing.
