    Democrat Stacey Abrams Ends Bid For Georgia Governor, Decrying 'Suppression'

    Wow - talk about a SORE LOSER!

    Republican Brian Kemp will be the next governor of Georgia, with Democrat Stacey Abrams admitting Friday afternoon that there was no path to victory, following a bitter 10-day battle since Election Day.

    "I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election," Abrams said. "But to watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in this state baldly pin his hopes for election on suppression of the people's democratic right to vote has been truly appalling."

    In a fiery speech, Abrams insisted this was no normal concession, decrying the voter suppression — at the hands of Kemp — she believed had led to this conclusion.

    "I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not right," Abrams said. She repeatedly criticized Kemp, who she said had been "deliberate and intentional in his actions" to suppress voters.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    It was pretty embarrassing for your country how he rigged his own elected. Third-world nation stuff.

      Even a number of the local Democrats were all but begging her to cease her antics. The CW is she pretty much destroyed her career. She would have been a strong contender to run against David Perdue in 2020 for the Senate what with having wide-spread name recognition and an organization already in place but her post-election actions have soured a lot of her support.

        If there was a grain of truth in what you said it would indeed be sad. But as usual you reveal that you don't know your hind quarters from a hole in the ground although that has never once stopped you from pontificating from on high and spotlighting your abysmal ignorance.

            Abrams is simply telling the truth about Kemp and his cheating ways, as well she should. It's really all that the quickly dying republican party can do, if they don't cheat, they know they lose. They have to come up with all these gimmicks, throwing people off the rolls without notifying them, closing polling places in heavily democratic districts, new voter ID laws, making new, last minute rules, like "exact match" as if they are signature reading experts, extreme gerrymandering, etc etc. But even with all that, the republican Kemp just eked it out. The south is quickly turning blue and the corrupt republican party with its base deplorables will be less and less relevant as a political party from this point on. Ya'll nitwit working class republicans should be thanking your lucky stars for that too.

              As has been pointed out to you previously even other Democrats have complained about the New Georgia Project, an organization founded by Abrams and their sloppiness in registering voters. For instance, Stacey Evans pointed out that of the 86,000 registered by them in the past 22,000 were invalid. That is over a quarter of them. Increased scrutiny of those her group registered was virtually mandated after Abrams herself called on non-citizens to vote, saying in a recent speech that the "blue wave" will include both "those who are documented and undocumented."

              And what the left always (deliberately?) leaves out is that anyone who registered but couldn't bother to fill out the form correctly could still have voted if they presented an ID -- something that Georgia law required them to do anyway.

                Stacey Evans was Abrams opponent in the democratic primary and was getting crushed. She has no evidence of any fraud, it was just a disgusting campaign tactic on her part. Boy, you guys must think it's really easy for non-eligibles to both register and to vote, and that thousands of them would risk going to jail for it or whatever, eh? Such a gullible bunch you are. Listen, Republicans employ a whole slew of dirty tricks in order to suppress the vote, not to prevent the non-existent fraud, but to target and to suppress the opposition vote and the courts have said as much time and time again. We know you're never going to admit to that, you're one of them, but it's not going to matter much longer, because even your cheating ways aren't going to win the day much longer as this last trouncing should make known to you.

                  First, she never made an accusation of fraud.

                  Second, these voter registrations were almost all done after the primaries and just before the general election and therefore she could not possibly benefit by pointing out the simple fact that the group her fellow Democrat founded has in the past screwed up over a full quarter of those they claimed to have registered.

                  No. It's a desperate grabbing at straws on your part.

                  Once again, these voter registrations were almost all done after the primaries and just before the general election and therefore she could not possibly benefit by pointing out the simple fact that the group her fellow Democrat founded has in the past screwed up over a full quarter of those they claimed to have registered.

                  Very few folks who are ineligible but register and vote anyway ever get charged much less convicted because the prosecutors must prove deliberate criminal fraud. So unless they've done it before or boasted about what they did all they have to do is say "I didn't know" (it was a mistake based on ignorance on their part) and nothing happens except they get removed from the roles.

                  This very fact (the low rate of prosecution and much lower conviction rate) is a key component of the left's denial that rampant voter fraud exists. They love to sneer that only a dozen or so people were prosecuted in this or that state deliberately ignoring the fact that there were hundreds if not more cases of illegal voting that were uncovered.

                  Moreover, if the Democrats win the ineligible voters know there is a slim chance that there will even be an investigation in the first place.

                  Actually the courts have ruled that various voter ID laws etc. may put an undue burden on the poor or that it is conceivable that they could be abused. Fortunately, here in Georgia, they set it up so nobody can legitimately complain and it has easily withstood every court challenge to the point nobody even contests it any more. I've explained what and how they do it multiple times in various threads and personally I don't understand why other states seeking to crack down on fraud don't use it as a blueprint for their own legislation but instead keep replicating the same stupid mistakes.

                  For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

                  Yeah. Because I'm such a major player in local politics.

                    Never suggested you were a major anything, just that being on the unethical team yourself, you would never admit to their cheating, but, like in the above, continue to make excuses for it.

                      According to the lil jimmy lexicon evidence[1] is merely a synonym for excuse.
