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.

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.

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.
Diary of a mad black woman......
Even Democrats got disgusted with her here in Georgia when she would not concede the election. Now she is making the claim that the RNC will be sending law enforcement into minority neighborhoods to intimidate minorities into not voting. She is a damn liar and should not even be elected dog catcher.
Angry, hostile racist. Hope she never gets close to a place of power ever again.
Then she will FINALLY "get the message" that constant and continuous "whining" brings its just desserts.
“I look at the 2018 elections as a bit of an outlier.”
They were. Republicans went to the Georgia polls in mid-term numbers, as expected. Democrats voted in presidential-year numbers, ginned up by Trump derangement and a black female candidate for governor. I don’t think the close election in 2018 says anything about the 2020 outcome in Georgia.
Crickets about the absolute fool in Florida BOE desperately trying to steal the election for governor.
