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.”
If she were governor, could you imagine what, in her unsteady state of mind, she would do.
Gives me the shivers.
Don’t get your panties in a wad, sparky.
Just follow procedure and check for previous posts of the same thing.
It goes without saying that she stole votes. She is a Democrat.
Correction: It’s Robert Reishhhhhhhhhhh according to Rush.

If you’re Forest Gump’s retarded child.
Good one! Votebusters!
McCain wants a new vote and a new body. Thinks he can lose by even more to Obama.
Project much?
She’d a toxic, malignant narcissist. She’s doing this only to stay in front of the cameras. She loves seeing her picture in the papers and reporters flocking to ask her questions. She’s the center of attention,she intoxicated withherself, she’s an attention whore. That’s the ONLY reason she’s refusing to concede.

Don’t need to; you’re playing your cartoon for free.
Shame on you
This one is the one to keep an eye on -- if the election result is overturned and a do-over ordered by some ********* judge, there is no more law in this country, and no further purpose to acting as if there were.
dear loser-candidate,
why not also “demand” at least 20 years of your life back so you can do it all over ... and maybe make something respectable of yourself?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Demand all you want, your demands amount to nothing...
it looks like you are the one who’s his drawers in a a wad, not I.
I demand a flying car.
How do you expect a demonRat to win if he, or she is not allowed to use fraud, lie, or steal an election?
