Stacey Abrams Loses Again. The grievance industry operative’s voter suppression bugaboo is rejected by a federal judge.

Failed gubernatorial candidate (and current gubernatorial candidate) Stacey Abrams has claimed since 2018 that she really won her initial race. She claimed that the only reason she didn’t actually win was voter “suppression” laws in the state of Georgia. She was so adamantly invested in this narrative that she started a group called Fair Fight Action in order to champion her cause and continue to gripe about her lost election.

It was much to her chagrin that her complaints were smartly swatted down by a federal court judge last Friday. Through her group, she attempted to prove that Georgia’s “Jim Crow 2.0” voting laws were racist and that they suppressed votes. Federal Judge Steve Jones, who has been hearing this case since 2018, said, “Although Georgia’s election system is not perfect the challenged practices violate neither the Constitution nor the [Voting Rights Act].”

Judge Jones is an Obama appointee and black, in case one might be tempted to think that this was a white conservative jurist weighing in. Jones did what should be expected of any federal judge: He applied the Constitution and other federal laws to see if Georgia had indeed broken any of them. In a neat 288-page decision, he concisely outlined why Abrams’s claims were false.

The greatest thrust of her claim rested on the notion that Georgia’s “exact match” policy was a form of voter suppression. Her group presented seven plaintiffs. According to the editors of National Review, “Of the seven voters the plaintiffs presented who had trouble at polling places, six of them still got to vote.” The only reason the seventh one was unable to vote was due to a time constraint issued by the individual’s nursing home facility; the plaintiff was unable to sort out the misunderstanding as a result.

“Most recently, Abrams weighed in on the abortion narrative. “There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks,” she said. “It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.” She combined two leftist talking points into one — that babies in the womb are not human or valuable until they are wanted, and that women are routinely oppressed and duped by men. Besides being patently false, Abrams’s grasp of the science of sonograms leaves something to be desired. Did she back down from this insane statement? No.”

If Hillary Clinton is America’s obnoxious ex-wife, Stacy Abrams is becoming America’s nasty ex-employee.

She was just found laying in an alley with sugar coma. Strewn around her were hundreds of Twinkies, Snickers and Scooter pie wrappers. A forklift is on its way to take her to the Obese wing of the nearest hospital.

I can’t say I trust Kemp or Ratburger. It reminds of a scene from the movie ‘The Sting’ where the crook cheats and still loses to a better cheater.

She needs to get Jose Biden to ban all AR-15 Glock assault rifles with voter suppressors mounted on the end of the barrel.

Abrams needs to return to her profession where her natural talent leads her:

PIMPING

Abrams is a classic pimp daddy even though she is supposed to be a woman.

Obese and an ill-favored appearance is no way to go through life.
