Former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton blamed voter suppression for her 2016 loss, and threw her support behind claims made by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams regarding the 2018 Georgia governor race.
"You can run the best campaign, you can have the best plans, you can get the nomination, you can win the popular vote. And you can lose the Electoral College and therefore the election for these four reasons. Number one, voter suppression," Clinton said Tuesday an "In Defense of Democracy" event at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
"We saw what happened in Georgia where Stacey Abrams should be governor of that state," Clinton continued.
"Registered voters were kept off the rolls. Their registrations just piled up in some back office with no intention to ever enroll them so that they could actually vote. We also saw what happened in 2016. Experts estimate that anywhere from 27,000 to 200,000 Wisconsin citizen voters, predominantly in Milwaukee, were turned away from the polls. Thats a lot of potential voters."
Abrams lost to Republican Brian Kemp by around 54,000 votes.

Every time she bitches about her loss we shouldn't be dismayed but rejoice at another heaping helping of schadenfreude. Her whining is a main way for her coping with the existential pain she has suffered from every day since that fateful evening/morning. She was so shocked and traumatized by the result that unlike every other loser in living memory she couldn't give a concession speech. Then when her carcass was trotted out she said one thing very true but probably very understated....
This loss hurts I don't think we know truly how deeply it hurts her but these whines indicate major league pain.

Well except for that John C Breckenridge fellow in 1860... the sitting Vice President. Who took his states and started a civil war. ""It's unprecedented for a nominee of a major party to themselves signal that they would not accept -- you know, respect the results of an election. We've never had that happen before. ... This really presents a potentially difficult problem for governing ..."

Yeah, she can’t let it go. It tears her up. Every day. I hope it eats at her to her dying day . . . in prison.

How the hell can she say this after proudly proclaiming that she won the, Popular vote?
Because, according to her, 100s maybe 1000s of votes were suppressed in Milwaukee. Good upstanding citizens who were denied the right to vote for her because they didn’t have ID on them, their ID showed a different name the the voter registration, etc etc.

Maybe Hillary you should accept my theory that you were a ‘Bi-personality candidate’, where you reminded all the men of their first wife they divorced , and for all the woman you reminded them of every pompous woman they’ve ever hated. They both meet along the same axis of the fact that you are a serious bitch!

We also saw what happened in 2016. Experts estimate that anywhere from 27,000 to 200,000 Wisconsin citizen voters, predominantly in Milwaukee, were turned away from the polls. Thats a lot of potential voters." That's also a very wide margin as well. Just throwing you know what at the wall there Hillary, with nary a bit of truth to it at all.
How many illegal aliens voted for you to give you the popular vote? How many votes did Google steer your way with their biased tactics? How many dead people cast their votes for you from beyond the grave? All contributed to you so you could be able to claim the popular vote. Just admit you lost the election and move along you sore losing cow.

Hillary was the voter suppression.

Take comfort from the fact that every single day she gets up and her repudiation by the voters hits her again. She is like Prometheus, chained to the rock of her losing campaign and it eats at her all day, every day.
That unrelenting hate and bitterness has poisoned her life irrevocably.
