Democrat Stacey Abrams on Friday acknowledged that Republican Brian Kemp will become the next governor of Georgia, ending her bid to become the first black woman in American history to lead a state...
"So let's be clear -- this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper," she said. "As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But, my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. Now, I can certainly bring a new case to keep this one contest alive, but I don't want to hold public office if I need to scheme my way into the post. Because the title of governor isn't nearly as important as our shared title -- voters. And that is why we fight on." Abrams had previously described Kemp as an "architect of voter suppression" and in her remarks said he had purposefully made the process a "gut-wrenching hardship" for many in Georgia. "Under the watch of the now former secretary of state, democracy failed Georgia," Abrams said of Kemp, who served as the state's chief elections officer for nearly a decade before resigning after overseeing his own contest.

The typical crap from the democrat wing of the CPUSA
Georgia has enough votes in the legislature to correct the flaws in the dems efforts to steal elections
There are no paper ballots
At least get the race correct....it was for govenor
The Democrats wrote the narrative. She lost because of Republican voter suppression.
Every time the MSM reports on Brian Kemp they will include the caveat Kemp may have won because of voter suppression.
Get off the stage.
“I don’t want to hold public office if I need to scheme my way into the post.”
Well, thanks for that, at least, Stacey. Unfortunately, I’m not certain all of your democrat colleagues see it the same way.
She’s nuts, Jim.
Someone wrote this “consession” speech for her. She will run for the Senate seat against Perdue in 2020. She is now officially a victim.
This is how he gets on Tucker Carlson.
Wrong thread. Doh!
Virtue-signal much, Stacey?
Stacey, never fear, there are other states you can carpetbag to to start all over again.
It’s probably all the fault of those shifty Macedonians-———again.
.
She says, “The honky won.”
“As a woman of conscience and faith,”
Yeah, right.
Will claim racism and white women Republicans for her defeat.
Good one, Doug.
Hit the bricks, Blimp.
Clearly Georgia has dodged a bullet with this one
