Federal Judge Upholds Georgia Voting Practices in Blow to Stacey Abrams–Backed Lawsuit
"The 288-page order comes in response to a lawsuit first filed in November 2018 after Republican Brian Kemp defeated Abrams in Georgia’s gubernatorial election.
Kemp defeated Abrams by more than 54,000 votes to become governor. Abrams has never conceded to Kemp and has claimed the 2018 election was “stolen from Georgians.”
Josh Belinfante, a lawyer for state election officials, defended the rules and argued that the state’s automatic voter-registration policy and recent increase in voter registration among black residents are evidence that the state is not suppressing voters.
Fair Fight collected testimony from more than 3,000 voters, and very few were unable to cast a ballot. None of the voters said they could not cast a ballot in 2020. Belinfante argued the testimonials showed that many issues were resolved quickly.
Kemp celebrated the ruling on Friday, saying in a statement: “Judge Jones’ ruling exposes this legal effort for what it really is: a tool wielded by a politician hoping to wrongfully weaponize the legal system to further her own political goals.”
Abrams responded to the ruling in a statement of her own: “While the Court’s actions are not the preferred outcome, the conduct of this trial and preceding cases and legislative actions represent a hard-won victory for voters who endured long lines, burdensome date of birth requirements and exact match laws that disproportionately impact Black and Brown voters.”
" BURDENSOME DATE OF BIRTH REQUIREMENTS"...that's a good one

but when a republican makes fake accusations against election integrity? they’re the anti-Christ.
when democrats do it? not worth mentioning. in fact it’s a character flaw to even bring it up.
That’s a very convenient, simple, unchallenging universe the snowflakes have created for themselves.

You can never tell the truth can you
Stacey Abrams on Monday cautioned against conflating her refusal to concede in the 2018 Georgia governor’s race with former President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election, calling the latter wrong and dangerous for democracy.
“I will never ever say that it is OK to claim fraudulent outcomes as a way to give yourself power,” Abrams said. “That is wrong. I reject it and will never engage in it. But I do believe that it is imperative, especially those who have the platform and the microphone, to talk about the access.”
Abrams acknowledged her loss to Kemp days after the 2018 election. But she attributed that defeat — by less than 1.4 percentage points — to efforts by Kemp, then the secretary of state, to suppress voter turnout. Kemp denied the allegations.
Keep thinking they are the same Jim it’s the only way you can keep supporting Trump. Ya know the man you’ll vote for again if he get the nod. Who still say the election was stolen by massive fraud nation wide that only he and his supporters magically see !

so when Abrams says she didn’t do something immoral. that’s good enough for you.
Black turnout wasn’t suppressed in her previous loss. It’s been looked into. It never happened. GA laws are no more restrictive than laws in blue states wayne. You and abrams may not like that, or the two of you may not grasp that, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
I love it. Abrams’ statement that she is innocent, is proof to you that she’s innocent.
Trump is wrong to say his election was stolen with fraud, but you’re fine with Abrams making disproven accusations that her election was stolen due to racism.

What you claim Abrams did is the same as what Trump did. “. It was wrong to say the election was stolen”. You actually believe that’s all he did ? If so You really are an intellectual dishonest person
Yet the Oath Keepers go on trial for sedition….
Let me guess you and other on this site actually still think what happened on Jan 6th was spontaneous …. And in no way shape or form connected to the Trump administration and those in his orbit .
Ya know because it’s normal for travelers and protesters to show up in DC with all types of weapons body armor helmets pepper spray bear spray zip ties . And ORF teams on standby ..
On the day the election was getting certified ?

i didn’t say she did the same exact thing as trump. no 2 events are identical. i said she made fake claims about her loss being unfair. What she did is similar to what trump did, in that she’s undermining confidence in our elections with fake claims about her loss being unfair. That’s what she did, and it’s what trump did. they went about it differently, but that’s what they both did. Naturally she played the race card. Naturally you believe it.
you find minor details that make these events not identical, and therefore you say there are no parallels.
Abrams and trump both claimed their losses weren’t the result of free and fair elections. You cannot do anything, say anything, or post anything, to make that wrong.
Do you ever stop talking about this stuff, and try to make a rational argument about why her policy ideas are better for GA? What has she done, other than be black and a woman?

You think everyone in the rural south has a birth certificate?
You think it’s in the interest of the political forces in power to ensure they can get a photo id?
