I do not recall hearing about this incident on any major news networks and just happened to stumble across this story today.
Some brief background: Cynthia Mckinney was a former U.S. member of Congress who enraged AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) because of her Anti-Israel, pro Palestinian positions. In retaliation, AIPAC saw to it that McCkinney was not relected to congress by influencing elections in Atlanta, which ensured Mckinney's defeat.
