Hillary Clinton: Abrams would have already won Georgia race if ‘she had a fair election’
Fox News ^ | 14 NOV 2018 | Alex Pappas

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Tuesday questioned the legitimacy of Georgia’s gubernatorial contest, saying Democrat Stacey Abrams would have already won the uncalled contest if the election was fair.

“If she had a fair election, she already would have won,” Clinton said Tuesday night at the University of Texas at Austin, where she accepted an award.

Clinton, who may be considering another run for president in 2020, accused the “people on the other side” of “undoing” voting rights in the election. Supporters of Abrams have made accusations of voter suppression, long voting lines and other balloting problems.

“Stacey is really in the arena and she is fighting for the right to vote and have your vote counted,” Clinton said, praising Abrams “for continuing that fight.”

During the 2016 contest, Clinton expressed worry that then-candidate Donald Trump wouldn’t accept defeat if she beat him in the election.

They are building a public impression that EVERY election is unfair unless the Democrat wins.

One of Soros’ favorite tactics is to support folks to get them elected and then prove the results were fraudulent.

The ultimate goal is no need for elections or at least elections in which individuals actually vote.

What Hillary is doing is pure evil.

She’s coming back.

And I hope she does. Trump will give he such a beating in 2020 it will make Reagan’s 84 look like a squeaker

NTL REVIEW BY RICH LOWRY: THE LEFT'S JIM CROW FANTASY

A cottage industry has grown up around declaring Georgia's election a stain on our nation. Carol Anderson at Emory deemed it “neo-Jim Crow.” Dan Rather found “a deeply troubling challenge to American democracy; in “a foreign country there would be a call for international inspectors.”--snip--

They complain b/c Republican Kemp expressed “concern” about absentee voting. At a GOP event Kemp said: “They have an unprecedented number of [absentee requests], which is something that concerns us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote — which they absolutely can — and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that.” Motivating your side to vote is the opposite of voter suppression.

They allege Kemp shut down polling places but Counties close cash-strapped rural areas consolidate to eliminate underutilized polling places and locations that don’t comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. A controversy exploded over plans to close seven of nine precincts in tiny majority-black Randolph County, Kemp publicly opposed the plan. (Randolph voted for 2016 Hillary, but Trump won five of the seven precincts slated for closure.)--snip--

Finally, they object to Kemp’s enforcement of “use it or lose it” rule upheld by the USSC in Ohio this year.It’s hardly punitive. If you haven’t voted for three years, you get notified by mail. If you don’t reply and then don’t vote in the next two federal elections, you are struck from the rolls. This happened to an estimated 100,000 people last year, who, judging by their behavior, were non-voters rather than voters.

Every indication is that Stacey Abrams lost fair-and-square where everyone knew the rules beforehand, and they weren’t unreasonable. She’s nonetheless being hailed for not conceding, and her loss will always be taken as an indictment of Georgia rather than the verdict of voters.

==============================

As FReeper knarf insightfully posted: "Democrats have not acted act as an authentic political participant in a republic in a long time.

All they know how to do is be "in your face".....throwing down gauntlet after gauntlet.

LET'S BE CLEAR: What Stacey Abrams and her gang are doing is not the thoughtful practice of politics.

Abrams is fomenting an aggressive attack...... an army challenging a peaceful nation......a nation it clearly despises.

Democrats have morphed into an invading army. That would make Stacey Abrams, not gubernatorial material...... just a disgruntled camp follower.

The only fair election is one a Democrat wins. According to them.

Projecting!! Democrats, especially the Clintons, always accuse the other side of committing crimes, doing exactly what they themselves are doing and have done. Unfortunately, way too many Americans believe them.
