Stacey Abrams Says Georgia Gubernatorial Election Was Neither Fair Nor Free
Huff Po ^ | 11/20 | Dominique Mosbergen

Posted on 11/20/2018 7:39:41 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

Georgia’s hotly contested election for governor was neither fair nor free, former Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams said in a Monday night interview.

Abrams, who announced on Friday that she was ending her gubernatorial bid, told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that her Republican opponent Brian Kemp had for years undermined democracy as Georgia’s secretary of state.

“It was not a free and fair election,” Abrams said. “We had thousands of Georgians who were purged from the rolls wrongly, including a 92-year-old woman who had voted in the same area since 1968 ― a civil rights leader.”

This crap got real old early last week. A record number of voters took part in the GA gubernatorial race...a million or so more.

How’s that for voter suppression?

Stacy can always start up a new diet regimen and hawk it on TV. She could call it “Just Desserts.”

If she had won, she could be saying, “For the first time in my life, I’m proud of this country.”

LOL!

“It was not a free and fair election,” Abrams said...

“without evidence”.

Unlike a Stacy Adams shoe, Stacey Abrams has no sole....

Form a political party along with Brenda Snipes, and proceed to make the voting process “fair”. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Along with booting out 30 million illegals and their anchor baby progeny, I mean Democrat voters, it is time for election reform. Only the chance of accomplishing any type of meaningful legislation while the rats hold the house is near zero. They will do everything possible to perpetuate fraud and disenfranchising legitimate voters.

“Democratic” governments only last until voters figure out that they can vote themselves a livelihood from the government. If you don’t own property, you are supported by government handouts, and you don’t pay taxes, then why should you have a say in who is getting other people’s money. The first national election where people who didn’t own property were allowed to vote was the 1828 presidential election. I think that our forefathers had an inkling about what would happen in our current situation.

“No voter roll purging within 12 months of an election, or something.”

Therefore the corruption would have guaranteed protection for the whole year in advance of the election.

People who do not vote across three election cycles should be purged.

Of course, the dead are always voting......................

She's building her political career on the issues of voter suppression, disenfranchisement, and open borders to bring in new voters for her party.

Expecting her to say otherwise is like expecting Starbucks to tell us that coffee isn't good for us.

As an aside, I heard that Stacey had so much to drink after losing to Kemp that a campaign aid had to give her a lift home...

We may have the best president this country has ever had. That said my biggest fear is the fact that we have crazies who have become the norm and feel that it is their right to steal elections and no matter what they do the end justifies the means and the media supports them and half of the Congress supports them and half of the Senate supports them and 70% of the judges support them. That is my biggest fear we need to continue to pray because we really are one or two elections being stolen away from the mental patients running the asylum.

She was on NPR this morning and they gave her full rein to say whatever she wanted with, of course, no push back. The Republicans could have gotten rid of NPR but they never do anything useful.

How much money since 2016 do you think Democrats have lost in failed elections.
