Stacey Abrams loses Georgia voting rights lawsuit on all counts
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/20...n-all-counts-n500259

In 2018, Stacey Abrams lost the Georgia gubernatorial election to Brian Kemp and then refused to concede. She first filed a lawsuit to delay the certification of the vote and her campaign manager vowed that the race was not over. But ultimately Kemp’s 58,000 vote margin of victory was too much for Abrams to overcome and after 10 days she shut down her campaign.

A couple weeks later, Abrams’ campaign manager, Lauren Groh-Wargo, moved into a new job as the CEO of Fair Fight Action, a group founded by Stacey Abrams. As Abrams had promised, Fair Fight Action filed a federal lawsuit promising a broad look at Georgia’s unfair election system on November 27, 2018.

That lawsuit dragged on for more than three years but in April it finally went to trial. Stacey Abrams was going to prove once and for all that the 2018 election had been unfair.

Yesterday Fair Fight Action lost the case on all counts. A judge appointed by Barack Obama found nothing raised in the lawsuit violated the constitution or the Voting Rights Act.

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones’ judgment concludes the ambitious case against Georgia’s voter registration and absentee ballot practices after a trial in which voters testified about problems at the polls but few of them were unable to cast a ballot.

“Although Georgia’s election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the Constitution nor the VRA (Voting Rights Act),” Jones wrote in a 288-page order…

Jones ruled against Fair Fight on claims over Georgia’s “exact match” voter registration policy, absentee ballot cancellation practices and registration inaccuracies…

“The court finds that the burden on voters is relatively low,” Jones wrote about the “exact match” rules. “Here, plaintiffs have not provided direct evidence of a voter who was unable to vote, experienced longer wait times, was confused about voter registration status.”

Gov Kemp: Today, Stacey Abrams and her organization lost in court - on all counts. From day one, Abrams has used this lawsuit to line her pockets, sow distrust in our democratic institutions, and build her own celebrity.

And that ruling couldn't have come down at a more advantageous time for Kemp. Wonder if someone in the media will have the stones to confront Abrams with the ruling?

I wonder whether the ruling will have any effect on Georgia elections cases going forward.

No, it's insurrection....maybe it's both. But only when Republicans do/say it, and have proof.

But whatever....

She should have used the lawsuit money at the orthodontist and Jenny Craig. Would have been better spent.
