Abrams Continues Media Tour, Unloads on ‘Insidious’ Kemp After Georgia Election Loss

While Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is continuing to unload on Republican Governor-elect Brian Kemp since losing the election last week, he's not firing back, saying what she does with her time is her own business.

Abrams acknowledged defeat 10 days after the election on Friday, trailing by nearly 55,000 votes and more than 17,000 votes short of forcing a runoff. However, she did not give a normal concession speech, blasting her opponent as an architect of voter suppression and saying the "state failed its voters."

Since announcing the formation of a new group called "Fair Fight Georgia" and stating "major" litigation will be filed against Georgia over the election, Abrams has embarked on a national media tour and ripped Kemp every step of the way.

Asked to respond to her rhetoric, Kemp told the Washington Free Beacon in a statement that it was time to move on and Abrams could say what she pleased.

...

Abrams also appeared to reject a professor's argument in Slate that Democrats should not call the election "stolen." Richard L. Hasen, professor of law and political science at the University of California–Irvine School of Law, argued such rhetoric further eroded American faith in the electoral process.

She's desperate......relegated to making a living off of losing; keeps saying Georgia's Election Was Neither Fair Nor Free.
Stacey Abrams flatly rejected arguments that her insistence on calling it a stolen election erodes American faith in the electoral process.

REALITY CHECK Since she’s deeply in debt......Abrams had to solicit big bucks to run a state-wide campaign.

Let’s see her campaign literature and her fund-raising methods.

What did she tell her campaign contributors to separate them from their money?

If she took money——but withheld information that she knew the election had been rigged against her -—
she was taking money under false pretenses......running a Ponzi scheme for herself.

Are you a Georgian. My guess is no

We have an additional run off election on Dec 4. We are saturated and sick of it all. More nastiness at this point is counter productive

WALL STREET JOURNAL: Democracy Succeeds in Georgia
Despite loser Stacey Abrams' claims of voter suppression,
the voting data in Georgia showed a record turnout.

By Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, Nov. 19, 2018

EXCERPT Republican Brian Kemp was declared Georgia’s Governor-elect, yet Democrats are trying to rob him of legitimacy by accusing him of stealing the election. The Democrats usual tricks---hoping to benefit politically by undermining faith in American democracy.

At the last tally on Sunday, Mr. Kemp led Democrat Stacey Abrams by about 55,000 votes or 1.4 percentage points. She finally acknowledged Mr. Kemp’s victory on Friday, though her non-concession concession makes Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump sound like gracious losers.

--snip---rest at WSJ web site

As Georgia's Secy of State, Kemp actually OPENED the voting process to MORE people----this hugely benefited Stacey Abrams.
She vainly tried to invoke the ugly spectre of Jim Crow, but Abrams would have lost by bigger margins were if not for Brian Kemp's numerous pro-voting actions.

from your post the phrase “committed to winning.” Something that the GOPe simple does not understand.

If I live to be 100 years old, I will never never understand why George W. Bush did not respond to the attacks that he did nothing about Katrina.

We need to find a Federal “judgey” who will “order” this leftist piggy to never run for a government job again until she learns to behave herself when she gets her loser ass kicked by the voters.

We all have to remember the typical voter if they keep hearing that the Republicans cheated in the election they will believe it. We have to somehow fight back on these type of issues. The question is how.

How about a full audit of the last election? Who actually voted? How many dead voted? An audit that Jill Stein started in the 2016 election was quickly shut down when a brief audit began to turn up districts where more than 100% of the registered voters voted.
