Former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke says he'd put former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in charge of combating voter suppression if elected president. Speaking to supporters in Fort Worth on Friday, O'Rourke said he had a conversation on the subject with the rising star in the Democratic Party.
"I called her to thank her for all the work that she's doing on voting rights. And making sure that every person in this country can vote. And that every vote counts in this country," O'Rourke said. "We talked about how in our states of the former Confederacy, really ever since the end of reconstruction, we have drawn people out of their ability to participate in this Democracy."
While he didn't go into specifics about the details of the role, O'Rourke told the Texas crowd the country is in need of a "new voting rights act" and Abrams would play a part in that.

Beta sure knows how to pander.
well in the unlikely event that beto the mexican irish whatever he is wins, she can start with california and illinois where they are suppressing the votes by not allowing Donald Trump the President on the ballots!
He should put her in charge of pancakes.
That seems a little like racial pandering to me
Shouldn’t the fake mexican and real ‘no borders’ advocate, Roberto 0. Roarkuez put a fake American like Jorge Ramos in charge of making sure there is no suppression of voting by illegal aliens?
I deal with many libs at work, and they are major P.O.ed over immigration.
And isn’t he being kind of presumptive thinking Stacey Abrams would want a flunky patronage job from him?
She may be one of his opponents in the Presidential Primaries.
Irish Bob would probably go after one of the Daley boys to enhance voter suppression.
Voter suppression is a Demorat myth.
If being a self-aggrandizing a$$hole meant you could fly Beto would be jet.
A case of the clueless hiring the clueless.
Oh yeah, ol’ big’un will make sure them honkies do not vote..........
Stupid fat B*TCH.
He had to 1 up the Buttguy that nibbled chicken with Shapton.
Bacon Cheeseburgers?
You really think she can handle that?
I like them and I don’t want them all @#$#ed up!!
