Stacey Abrams Georgia Voting Group Accused of ‘Financial Misuse and Irregularities’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mary Chastain

Posted on 11/13/2023 1:38:10 PM PST by CFW

A six-month Politico investigation revealed that the New Georgia Project faces accusations “of financial misuse and irregularities.”

Failed Democrat governor candidate Stacey Abrams founded the voting rights group, which aimed to register voters. Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock oversaw the project for two years.

The move comes as the group’s tax filings indicate that its former executive director — who was hand-picked by Abrams in 2014 but fired last year without notice — owes the organization thousands of dollars in “non-work-related” reimbursements. The former director, Nsé Ufot, who left the group last year after heading it for eight years, denies owing money and calls the allegation “a fucking lie.”

The debt attributed to Ufot — a nationally recognized leader in voting rights efforts and frequent political commentator — is one of multiple instances of poor financial record-keeping and allegations of misuse of funds uncovered by POLITICO. The New Georgia Project didn’t properly track company expenses that were allegedly prepaid to employees on Visa gift cards and failed to account for salary advances and other expenditures, according to a review of financial disclosures, internal documents and interviews with 12 current and former employees, including senior leadership. Most were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters.

This paragraph:

“This anonymous staffer and others could not believe the organization handed out these $11,000 Visa gift cards. Some people brought back receipts but not everyone. No one had a system to make sure the people used the gift cards for work-related expenses.

Those demanding accountability and a common sense expense tracking practice faced backlash from senior leadership:”

Gee.

Looks like a conspiracy to me.

I think RICO statutes should be invoked.

Abrams will forever be pissed that her cheating didn’t produce the results as EXPECTED or FOR CERTAIN in 2018. The cheating worked for Biden and a lot of democrats in 2022, but, she’s left wondering why it didn’t work for her. Same thing happened with Hillary in 2016, and her certain victory ‘was stolen’ from her, according to her.
