The Georgia gubernatorial race is not over yet. Republican Brian Kemp is ahead by about 18,000, but Stacey Abrams's campaign is trying to take the contest to court, in unprecedented fashion.
Abrams’ campaign chairwoman Allegra Lawrence-Hardy said all options are on the table, including using a state law that has never before been attempted at this level of elections. They are filing a petition in the name of voter suppression.
Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Abrams’ campaign chairwoman, is overseeing a team of almost three-dozen lawyers who in the coming days will draft the petition, along with a ream of affidavits from voters and would-be voters who say they were disenfranchised. Abrams would then decide whether to go to court under a provision of Georgia election law that allows losing candidates to challenge results based on “misconduct, fraud or irregularities ... sufficient to change or place in doubt the results.”
The legal team is “considering all options,” Lawrence-Hardy said, including federal court remedies. But the state challenge is the most drastic. And some Democratic legal observers note Abrams would be dependent on statutes that set a high bar for the court to intervene.
Kemp has declared victory, however, and recently resigned as secretary of state after complaints that his office should not be allowed to oversee elections. He said that was not entirely the reason he stepped aside, noting he wanted to "give public confidence to the certification process."
Kemp's 18,000-vote lead is enough to avoid a Dec. 4 runoff and state officials are preparing to officially declare him the winner. His campaign is accusing Abrams of staging a “publicity stunt” and a “ridiculous temper tantrum.”
A run off between her & Kemp?
Notice that they have succeeded in two of those efforts already.
Demand away.
Surely , you privileged white people must understand, it is OUR turn to rule, and when a person of color runs for governor who happens to be a woman, the moral imperative is absolute. If I lose, there MUST be illegal activity! I cannot lose, that’s impossible!! ( Cue the Heavy sarc. sound!)
Curious is it not, that we now must suffer undemocratic privileged black politicians?
I guess we white folk deserve it (sarc.), even if all of us were unborn when the Jim Crow days were in place, and those truly responsible are dead?
I wonder if America can survive this minority/ethnic liberal fascism which holds Saul Alinsky above the Constitution itself.

even snopes has to admit that she owes 50K in back taxes..
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/stacey-abrams-back-taxes/
“Abrams publicly revealed that she owed a $54,000 debt to the Internal Revenue Service when she released her personal financial disclosure documents in March 2018. But although she is in debt, she is not delinquent in her taxes, as documents show her to be on a payment plan after deferring payments for tax years 2015 and 2016.”
When I was in Cub Scouts, my den held an election for den leader. I came in second.
I demand a recount.
Every republican who lost within same margin should also sue for a revote and if Abrams is allowed by a court then they must use it as precedence and aloow them as well.
Such temper tantrums used to be an embarrassment and a stain on your reputation.
For today’s Democrat, their a resume enhancement.
Hopefully that's a typo. Last count I saw showed Kemp ahead by 58,000.
She really doesn’t understand how this works does she?
Demand? What’s the reaction when one of us DEMANDS she go ahead and concede the election? Racis’. kkk white nationalists.
LOL
WHEN DID MIKE TYSON RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA?
Such silliness!
And that is factual.
She would lose again.
