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.”
Exactly
Maybe she can get her front tooth gap fixed before the next 4 years.
And they stole many, I’m positive of that.
If a Federal court so orders, the ruling could be applied nationally.
“Please don’t throw me into that briar patch, B’rer Fox!”
WE MUST OBEY - RESISTANCE IS RACISM
WE MUST OBEY - RESISTANCE IS SEXISM
Speaking of bad teeth, I guess Ghettopotamus doesn’t get her teeth fixed because they give her street cred. If she fixed her teeth, she would be “acting white” and that would be terrible.
The Georgia Supreme Court only has two Democrats and one was appointed by Zell Miller.
Abrams is tilting at windmills.
There’s a salt lick somewhere missing its Abrams cow.
And I want a chalet in Davos paid for by the residents there, fully furnished with an ample allowance for living expenses.
Take a number and stand in line, Stacey. You can have that new vote after I get that free rent, free cell phone and purple sparkly unicorn obamy promised 10 years ago.
Midget Robert Reich, Rat and former Secretary of Labor, says there are three characteristics of lower class (trash) in America: obesity, bad teeth, and an uneducated dialect. Ghettopotamus is three for three.
In addition to the above, Ghettopotamus owes over $200,000 in personal debt—from unpaid taxes, 20 year old unpaid student loans, and credit card debt. She has absolutely no business handling taxpayer money, none whatsoever.
The only reason there isn’t universal outrage about Ghettopotamus’s current demands is because she’s black. Disgraceful.
I believe that was spun as some Do-Gooder, who tried it and when caught, he said that he only trying to test the systems integrity and was going to report his findings, or some BS like that.
Anytime a Black doesn’t get her/his way, it has to be “racism”!
Talk about folks who need to return to their ancestors’ homeland!
I believe that 18K is what they calculated she would need to gain in order to drop Kemp’s percentage below 50 and therefore force a runoff.
Problem for them now is this goes to the GA Supreme Court, not their tame Obama stodge Federal poltical activist pretending to be a judge.
Imho Georgia will correct the problem Abrams and her sister the judge, are causing.
