'A disgrace to democracy': Brian Kemp pushes Stacey Abrams to concede
Washington Times ^ | November 11, 2018 | Jay Reeves

Posted on 11/11/2018 5:06:35 AM PST by kevcol

Republican Brian Kemp is pressing Democrat Stacey Abrams to concede Georgia’s tight gubernatorial race as civil rights groups urge her to stay and fight.

Kemp’s campaign issued a statement Saturday that said it was mathematically impossible for Abrams to even force a runoff, much less win outright. It called Abrams’ refusals to concede “a disgrace to democracy” that “completely ignore the will of the people.”
.
.
On Saturday, she released a statement that she had met with voters who experienced difficulties casting ballots. She said her campaign had heard stories of voters turned away from the polls, students and military members who requested absentee ballots that never arrived or were “lost in the mail” - and first-time and longtime voters who found their names were “no longer on the list.”

She vowed to continue to fight.

Trying to shame a liberal into doing the right thing is a wasted effort.

Sounds like she is trying to win with after election voting.

Same old stories, people were turned away, names scrubbed off list, the dead couldn’t vote, etc

Communists will do anything to win

None of the democrats have conceded, including Hillary, after she and the media told Trump such behavior is unAmerican.
But that’s ok because the democrats are 100% unAmerican.

This will end in violence with rioters taking to the streets and demanding that the election results be overturned. The Antifa and BLM thugs are no doubt planning something, or rather, their Democrat handlers are giving them instructions.

As I think Rush Limbaugh said, the next phase for the left is to make the very concept of free elections seem illegitimate - the only legitimate thing for the left is one-party, socialist rule like in the Soviet Union.

Democrats don’t concede. They find more “uncounted ballots” in closets and car trunks.

..... she is black for a living......

Nice take.

Abrams is looking for a Big Payday,....eyeing the Georgia treasury that she would control IF she wins.

..... she's still got student debt 20 years after graduation...credit card debt for those all-you-can-eat buffets
(have you seen her obese sister?)....plus she owes the IRS.

Why does he even need her to concede exactly? Won’t the State of Georgia declare a winner?

Names please .......and signed affidavits that these things actually happened.....falsifying official documents is a felony.

The crime against democracy is that apparently the GA Secretary of State has yet to certify the vote as official.

Who is the GA Secretary of State? The man who should be the Governor elect was SOS, a position he resigned after the election.

Think back to when 14 housing vouchers were offered and the crowd that showed up in Atlanta to receive the nonexistent vouchers numbered around 50 + thousand
