Democrat Stacey Abrams ran an unsuccessful campaign for Georgia governor last year. If you ask her, it only failed because it was unfair. She and many of her supporters maintain that voter suppression stole the election out of her rightful hands.
The Republican prevailed with 1,978,408 votes over Abrams's 1,923,685 votes. But even with the 55,000-vote deficit, Abrams didn't concede. In fact, last April, she started claiming she'd won.
Kemp was also the secretary of state at the time of the election, and Abrams argued he should have resigned that post. Her group, Fair Fight, sued the state for what they said was “gross mismanagement" of an election that included far too many voting irregularities.
She's taken her grievance nationwide in a new effort to combat voter suppression. Fair Fight 2020, which she launched in Las Vegas this week, will be featured in 20 battleground states.

The program, Fair Fight 2020, is a multimillion-dollar effort to set up “voter protection” programs in a group of mostly battleground states. Abrams told the cheering audience that she will use her “very, very loud voice” through next year to promote the venture.“My mission is to make sure that no one has to go through in 2020 what we had to go through in 2018,” she told an audience of hundreds at the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades convention at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

Abrams's new effort also confirms that she's not going to join the race for the White House. She was reportedly toying with the idea. But, her initiative does offer credence to reports that she's going to challenge Gov. Kemp again in 2022.
She also left open the possibility of accepting the eventual Democratic nominee's vice presidential ticket.
You all better pick me as your VP ,LOL
Can you even imagine what she would’ve done to the fair state of Georgia had she been elected? People with this kind of lust for power shouldn’t even be elected dog catcher.
A FAT, Loudmouth, Gap-Toothed Socialist Hypocrite who expects special treatment due to having received lifelong minority quota advantages.
It gets me down to think about how close Georgia is to electing a leftist Governor.
The blimp is doomed.
Notice all the People that are back, Just since O came back to town.
The thing I have noticed about idiots is that they do have mouths and they use it liberally.
“When she sits around the house,
she sits ... around ... the house.”
I guess hippos get more than 15 minutes of fame?
This one should have faded away months ago but she’s a useful tool for the Dims.
what I really notice are men like Senator Tim Scott and self made millionare Fox Business network Charles Payne.
Both are truly great men. The black broad from Georgia is un fit to shine their shoes. He mouth is so big, her teeth don’t fit
What alarms me most is hoe close she came to winning in a state like Georgia.
I’m not saying that Georgia isn’t undergoing some demographic changes. They are. But sometimes I look at the 2018 elections as a bit of an outlier.
The GOP did badly in the suburbs around Atlanta. Karen Handel lost what was a fairly decent GOP House seat. It looks like the suburban soccer moms totally bit on the “Trump’s a meanie. For the good of the state, let’s punish his supporters in Congress.” Hel, it happened in a lot of other Congressional seats too. My god, Oklahoma elected a Democrat in the Oklahoma City area!
Hopefully, the lost suburban vote will come back next year after they realize that the Democrats promised them a lot of moderate stances and collegiality - and failed to deliver.
If she wants to stand with “The Squat”, they need to reinforce the floor.
Denzel Washington and his wife donated the max amount to Abrams and Will Ferrel went door to door campaigning for her.
Comment removed by me. I just get way to angry.
OMG, how i revile angry fat people. Yes, there, i admit to it, i am a FATIST.
There is plenty to insult liberals with. But going after physical aspects dilutes our arguments.
How does this racist liar & loser have any time to do anything but eat? it must take some time to keep that “shape”.
