REALITY CHECK--- 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.

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 Secy of State Brian Kemp's numerous pro-voting actions......including initiating online measures.
And there you have it - the GOP didn't make the effort to win many of these races. The Never Trumpers tried to teach Trump a lesson and half succeeded.
