ATLANTA - Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has dropped U.S. Representative Denise Majette and the Georgia Republican party from her lawsuit challenging the state's open primary system. <br>
<br>
McKinney is claiming that she lost the August Democratic primary to Majette because of crossover voting by thousands of Republicans. She originally sought to invalidate the election. <br>
<br>
Majette was elected to the Fourth Congressional District position in November with 77 percent of the vote. <br>
<br>
Secretary of State Cathy Cox, the Georgia Democratic Party and DeKalb and Gwinnett elections officials are still defendants in the suit.
