Despite her insistence to the contrary, Stacey Abrams did indeed lose her 2018 bid to become governor of Georgia.
So convinced was she that she had actually won, or would have won if only all of her voters had been able to vote, that her organization Fair Fight, filed against the state, claiming all sorts of impediments to Abrams voters.A federal judge on Friday found that Georgia election practices challenged by a group associated with Democrat Stacey Abrams do not violate the constitutional rights of voters, ruling in favor of the state on all remaining issues in a lawsuit filed nearly four years ago.
The lawsuit was filed in November 2018, just weeks after Abrams narrowly lost the governor’s race to Republican Brian Kemp. Throughout that contest, Abrams had accused Kemp, then secretary of state, of using his position as the state’s top elections official to promote voter suppression. Kemp vehemently denied the allegations.
She highlighted testimony from voters who had trouble registering or casting their ballots, voters who shared their stories because they wanted the court to understand what they faced.
