ATLANTA, Ga. - Stacey Abrams' campaign and legal team is preparing an unprecedented legal challenge in the unresolved Georgia governor's race that could leave the state's Supreme Court deciding whether to force another round of voting.

The Democrats are learning that the minority vote is not dependable no matter what they do so they need to eliminate elections and national mail in elections arethe only way to be certain to get the vote out and correctly returned with pre selected votes.
<><> cover-up Democrats' voter fraud.....
<><> trigger the all-knowing media to showcase the disenfranchisement of an oppressed minority.
And get ready for: "Abrams' loss is all Trumps fault."
LAUGH BREAK: Abrams is trying like hell to resurrect "Jim Crow" but its not working.
Many people dont want to leave their homes and wait in line. Voting has to be easy for them and not disrupt their lives. Young people cant be bothered to talk on the phone so they text.Voting is a nuisance for them.
This is ridiculous. Tell this woman to get over it. She lost.
Has Cindy McCain told her yet that “losing is a humbling experience”?
First, someone voted for me in GA. At the polling place they said absentee. The urban SoS person I was able to reach told me I voted early on Nov 2 at a church.
Anyway-
It used to be more difficult to get absentee votes. You had to give a reason why you would not be available on Election Day. With early voting, it should be even harder to get an absentee ballot.
Instead, people are treating absentee ballots as mail in votes, another form of early voting.
Its time to wrangle in these absentee voting rules nationwide for federal elections. It would set the tone for all state/local elections.
go ahead file and look like a fool.This is pure desperation.
She will lose in the GA Supreme court badly.
Even some of the Dems here are telling her to concede.
We'll all be called 'racist' for not giving her a second and third chance to win - AND ALL THE WHILE she's running on the old 'Party of the KKK and White Citizen Council' - the Democrat party of George Wallace and Bull Conner.
Abrams is trying like hell to steal the election-shes an entitled Black candidate who wont take no for an answer.
She still has student debt 20 years after she graduated. Plus $200,000 in credit card debt and she owes the IRS.
She wont let go - the governors seat is her pathway out of debt.
NTL REVIEW BY RICH LOWRY: THE LEFTS JIM CROW FANTASY
A cottage industry has grown up around declaring Georgias election a stain on our nation. Carol Anderson at Emory deemed it neo-Jim Crow. Dan Rather found a deeply troubling challenge to American democracy; in a foreign country there would be a call for international inspectors.snip
They complain b/c Republican Kemp expressed concern about absentee voting. At a GOP event Kemp said: They have an unprecedented number of [absentee requests], which is something that concerns us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote which they absolutely can and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that. Motivating your side to vote is the opposite of voter suppression.
They allege Kemp shut down polling places but Counties close cash-strapped rural areas consolidate to eliminate underutilized polling places and locations that dont comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. A controversy exploded over plans to close seven of nine precincts in tiny majority-black Randolph County, Kemp publicly opposed the plan. (Randolph voted for 2016 Hillary, but Trump won five of the seven precincts slated for closure.)snip
Finally, they object to Kemps enforcement of use it or lose it rule upheld by the USSC in Ohio this year.Its hardly punitive. If you havent voted for three years, you get notified by mail. If you dont reply and then dont vote in the next two federal elections, you are struck from the rolls. This happened to an estimated 100,000 people last year, who, judging by their behavior, were non-voters rather than voters.
Every indication is that Stacey Abrams lost fair-and-square where everyone knew the rules beforehand, and they werent unreasonable. Shes nonetheless being hailed for not conceding, and her loss will always be taken as an indictment of Georgia rather than the verdict of voters.
As FReeper knarf insightfully posted: Democrats have not acted act as an authentic political participant in a republic in a long time.
All they know how to do is be in your face.....throwing down gauntlet after gauntlet.
LETS BE CLEAR: What Stacey Abrams and her gang are doing is not the thoughtful practice of politics.
Abrams is fomenting an aggressive attack...... an army challenging a peaceful nation......a nation it clearly despises.
Democrats have morphed into an invading army. That would make Stacey Abrams, not gubernatorial material...... just a disgruntled camp follower.
Oprah agreed to campaign for Stacey after being informed Abrams was fatter than she is.
Yes, this time Jim Crow = Democrats eating crow!
The media painted Abrams as this sweet, Aunt Jemima Southern matron with an “Aw shucks” grin and a chuckle.
We only later learned she burned the Georgia flag and a closet Lenin who wants to steal an election from We the People.
Good riddance to this Lefist big mama poster. Beware of Stalin on a Time hiding behind a blue XXXL-sized dress.
“The voting will continue until we get the results we want.”

I like the sound of that new motto of the DemocRATs.
Thanks for the pic. It’s a good thing I’m already doing #2 here.
THIS JUST IN——By Greg Bluestein Mark Niesse, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Democrat Stacey Abrams is fast running out of options to close a deficit in the race for Georgia governor.
Republican winner Brian Kemp has already moved on and has a transition office under the Gold Dome to prove it.
The Democrats campaign is considering a long-shot legal challenge under a law that allows losing candidates to contest the election in the case of misconduct, fraud or irregularities. Abrams would face a tremendous legal burden to prove her case. The latest tally showed Abrams is roughly 55,000 votes behind Kemp and in need of more than 17,000 votes to force a Dec. 4 runoff.
Georgia law requires a runoff if no candidate gets a majority of the vote, which is only a possibility because a third-party contender netted about 1 percent. Abrams campaign has long tried to make the case that Kemp used his role as secretary of state to suppress the vote (the ol’ Jim Crow routine). But to have a chance in court, Abrams would have to definitively prove there were enough Georgians blocked from voting to close the gap.
Barring successful legal action, the secretary of state could certify the election as soon as 5 pm Friday and cement Kemps victory in the tightest race for Georgia governor since 1966.
She has run in 3 different states for political office.
A true Carpetbagger!!!
She should.
This is the 3rd state that she has run for office in.
We later learned she burned the Georgia flag and is a closet Leninist........
Most troubling, she's conniving to steal an election from We, the People.
You just said that because she’s a woman of color. She should get 20,000 additional votes due to inherent racism to help overcome the white privilege.
Nice catch.
Why would they vote again, she already had her vote and lost
