Stacey Abrams, Still Believing She Was Robbed of Election, Launches 'Fair Fight 2020'
Townhall.com ^ | August 14, 2019 | Cortney O'Brien

Democrat Stacey Abrams ran an unsuccessful campaign for Georgia governor last year. If you ask her, it only failed because it was unfair. She and many of her supporters maintain that voter suppression stole the election out of her rightful hands.

The Republican prevailed with 1,978,408 votes over Abrams's 1,923,685 votes. But even with the 55,000-vote deficit, Abrams didn't concede. In fact, last April, she started claiming she'd won.

Kemp was also the secretary of state at the time of the election, and Abrams argued he should have resigned that post. Her group, Fair Fight, sued the state for what they said was “gross mismanagement" of an election that included far too many voting irregularities.

She's taken her grievance nationwide in a new effort to combat voter suppression. Fair Fight 2020, which she launched in Las Vegas this week, will be featured in 20 battleground states.

Kemp was also the secretary of state at the time of the election, and Abrams argued he should have resigned that post. Her group, Fair Fight, sued the state for what they said was “gross mismanagement" of an election that included far too many voting irregularities.

She's taken her grievance nationwide in a new effort to combat voter suppression. Fair Fight 2020, which she launched in Las Vegas this week, will be featured in 20 battleground states.

The program, Fair Fight 2020, is a multimillion-dollar effort to set up “voter protection” programs in a group of mostly battleground states. Abrams told the cheering audience that she will use her “very, very loud voice” through next year to promote the venture.

“My mission is to make sure that no one has to go through in 2020 what we had to go through in 2018,” she told an audience of hundreds at the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades convention at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Abrams's new effort also confirms that she's not going to join the race for the White House. She was reportedly toying with the idea. But, her initiative does offer credence to reports that she's going to challenge Gov. Kemp again in 2022.

She also left open the possibility of accepting the eventual Democratic nominee's vice presidential ticket.

This woman seems to have a hefty following in the liberal community.

Makes sense. After all, as hefty as she is...

In the good ol’ days batcrap crazies like Demonicrat Abrams would be stored in a state loony bin for the protection of sane people in our society.

Nowadays they run loose trying to elect each other to public office.

And the probability of ANY Democrat winning in Georgia is what exactly? What did she expect?

Interesting philosophical question. Evella’s Don’t You Bring Me No Bad News was part of The Wiz, an all-black star extravaganza soul version of The Wizard of Oz, but Evella seems like a racist carichature, and the URL for the link to this scene concludes with the letters “nig”. So when I post the link to the video, am I proving I’m a white supremacist, or just exhibiting a scene from a soul classic circa 1978. I must post the link, because this woman so reminds me of Evella that it’s unavoidable. But what does that make me?

I don’t buy the whole “trump did bad with suburban women” meme.

All I have to do is look at the Trump rallies and see all the suburban women who voted for, and will vote for him again.

Her group, Fair Fight, sued the state for what they said was “gross mismanagement" of an election that included far too many voting irregularities.

Just think, without those voting irregularities, she might have lost by 200,000 or more.

Why do I get so nervous when leftists talk about their efforts to "protect" voters?

Other democRATS boxes she fills is she is a SORE LOSER....check.

She's also FAT, UGLY and ANGRY with a BIG MOUTH.

She also can't take defeat with dignity and humbleness.

Yeah, she checks all the democRATic boxes alright.

Wow Jemima taking a whole lot of chances by accepting a PAC formed for her ... "The majority of the program will be run by Fair Fight PAC."

There are Democrats in GA who would like her out of the Governor's race because they know Kemp picks up 2-3% as incumbent next time in a rematch.

A clever person might surmise some of them helped Jemima form her Free Syrup PAC.

One single, solitary, line-item entry wrong in her PAC's FEC filing, and she'll go to jail.

"The GOP did badly in the suburbs around Atlanta. Karen Handel lost what was a fairly decent GOP House seat. It looks like the suburban soccer moms totally bit on the “Trump’s a meanie. For the good of the state, let’s punish his supporters in Congress.” Hell, it happened in a lot of other Congressional seats too. My god, Oklahoma elected a Democrat in the Oklahoma City area! Hopefully, the lost suburban vote will come back next year after they realize that the Democrats promised them a lot of moderate stances and collegiality - and failed to deliver."

Keep in mind not ONCE did Trump in 2018, stumping for Congressional critters, call for "A Huge, Bigly, Luxurious, Trumptastic Supermajority."

Not. One. Single. Time.

I begged everyone who knows Stephen Miller to put "Supermajority" in the stump.

Nope.

And now you know why. Our President specifically wanted to run against the House in 2020, he wanted to run against #Robotox, and he got the #SocialistSquat as a bonus to grind on!

I would have gone the other way but it's done, and he's going to win again either way.

Wrong title, FR. It should be she launched a campaign known as “Fat Fight 2020” or “Fight Fat 2020”.

On the other hand, it could also be called, in her honor, “Fat Head 2020”.

“It’s as if the Republicans tried to tell the world that Alex Jones was the answer to all questions...”

Wow, what an insult...to Alex Jones. At least Alex was occasionally right on something. When is any democrat right about anything now?
