Democrat Stacey Abrams on Friday acknowledged that Republican Brian Kemp will become the next governor of Georgia, ending her bid to become the first black woman in American history to lead a state...
"So let's be clear -- this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper," she said. "As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But, my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. Now, I can certainly bring a new case to keep this one contest alive, but I don't want to hold public office if I need to scheme my way into the post. Because the title of governor isn't nearly as important as our shared title -- voters. And that is why we fight on." Abrams had previously described Kemp as an "architect of voter suppression" and in her remarks said he had purposefully made the process a "gut-wrenching hardship" for many in Georgia. "Under the watch of the now former secretary of state, democracy failed Georgia," Abrams said of Kemp, who served as the state's chief elections officer for nearly a decade before resigning after overseeing his own contest.

It all comes to the same thing in the end.
She and Hilliary can share the crying towel.
Hand count paper ballots with voter IDENTIFICATION.
In other words ... anything she has left to do would be against the law. Cheating Dems.
What a jack-ass!
Her tantrum doesn’t help racial reconciliation at all.
Bye Precious
Isn't having any kind of rules and order racist?
>>>”Under the watch of the now former secretary of state, democracy failed Georgia,”<<<
Says the lying Rat who throughout the entre Counting Process never had more Votes than her Opponent.
LOL.....I see what you did there.........
So she finally allowed the guy with 58,000 more votes to win???
That’s mighty white of her.
And I know she is too stupid to realize this but she doesn’t need to concede in order for the guy to win. She lost, she just needs to go away and blame whitey now.
Disgusting person. Nobody likes a poor loser.
She is telling the voters how she really thinks.
No normal politician would talk about elaborate schemes like that at what should have been a dignified concession speech.
Is she going to sic her Black Panther Pals on the new mayor?
One of the more gracious Socialist Democrats.
Ha!
LOL!
The entire statement is dripping in hypocrisy. Go away Abrams! YOU LOST!
I never, ever want to hear another democrat, or their lackeys in the media, say anything about respecting the results of an election. If they do, just shoot them the finger and walk away. They are absolutely reprehensible people. All of them.
This is intentional sour grapes, to piss people off for the next election.
Totally agree.
