Everything about American Blackout totally explained
American Blackout (
2006) is a
documentary film directed by
Ian Inaba. It premiered at the 2006
Sundance Film Festival. The film chronicles the
2002 defeat, and
2004 reelection, of Congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney to the U.S. House of Representatives; it also discusses issues surrounding alleged voter
disenfranchisement and the use of
voting machines in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.
The film focuses heavily on McKinney, and claims that her 2002 loss in a Democratic primary to
Denise Majette (who, like McKinney, is African-American) was part of an effort to disenfranchise minority voters. McKinney claims that Republican voters in her district tipped the primary election to Majette. This itself is legal, as Georgia law opens primaries to all voters irrespective of party. After losing, McKinney filed a lawsuit claiming that open primaries are a violation of the
14th Amendment, but a court dismissed the case.
