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 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.

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.
Part of the Left’s “I win, you lose” strategy.
It is highly destructive, but they do not care about that.
GA FReeper ping.
GA has systems in place that have prevented the situation we see in FL, where ginned up provisional votes are being used in an attempt to throw an election. The Left does not like this and is screaming like a stuck pig.
Just retired and moved to Georgia because of it’s tax friendly status to retirees and where we moved is very rural. Folks around here hate Abrams and pretty much anything the left has to offer which is hate for anyone that is not left the most part. The state assembly is almost 2 to 1 GOP. How Abrams could come close is beyond me except the Atlanta votes and I can honestly say I’ll never set foot in Atlanta or any surrounding areas.. it’s a shxthole like most cites.
They have destroyed the integrity of our elections. I’m sure that most Democrats know that elections, all over the country, are being stolen. In AZ this time, they did get boatloads of voters to vote, by voting for them. Signatures don’t match? No problem! Just call the house of the voter and ask ‘did you vote?’. If the answer is yes, vote counts....no verifying if the person who answered the phone is actually the person whose ‘vote’ signature is in question. Totally illegal, but the Dems are in control of Maricopa County. Good luck to us in 2020.
Dollars to donuts says the Rats were having these inactive voters vote.
Heads they win, tails they win but they win OR ELSE!
Josef Stalin: “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”
Houston’s elections going forward will be stolen. The Harris County officials would wanted ID (even making efforts to provide them for FREE so it couldn’t be called a poll tax) and pruned the voter rolls of dead people etc were ousted by the Straight Beto Party vote.
He didn’t win but he did damage to the state.
And the next time it floods an incompetent 27 year old will be in charge of that.
And Soros bought the DA’s seat in the previous election with massive out of state donations.
Would you care to share what area you moved to? I'm looking to go somewhere warm for my next move. I was born in Georgia 63 years ago but moved away as a very young child.
Where we used to live in California, the Dem ‘won’ a House seat that had been in Republican hands for decades. I looked up the fundraising and the new airhead, openly bisexual young woman who won had more than $7 million in her war chest.......spent around $5 million (also said early on that she wasn’t accepting money from out of state donors. Yeah right). The Republican only had just over $2 million to spend. Soros bought this seat, pure and simple.
When in doubt, use the Race Card, don’t campaign without it!......Who’s in YOUR wallet?..............They are everywhere you don’t want to be..................

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 shuck and jive, and be “in your face”.....throwing down gauntlet after gauntlet.

Sorry, but it’s not a ‘one-side fits all’ “problem”. I fail to recall the (R)N(C) doing ANYTHING to thwart, let alone defuse, these situations.
Since 2k, FL has done ???. Scott\Bondi\etc. failed to prosecute\fire Snipes. Everything’s been DAYS too late, if at all.
Same w/ D.C. Full control & since 2k/’16+, ZERO done vs. voter ID, strengthening chain of custody or even prosecuting
Same w/ illegal aliens, Deep State, over-reaching govt, Rights suppression, budget\funding...
Democrats are focused on the regional offices that control the voter roll data, enforce the laws, and count the votes. Rat fraud will increase evermore, just as Stalin and Joe Kennedy would advise.
