Finally

Stacey Abrams, the Democrat in Georgia’s governor race, acknowledged Friday that she cannot defeat her Republican opponent, Brian Kemp, but she vowed to file a federal lawsuit challenging the “gross mismanagement” of the state’s elections.

Abrams’ address to her supporters essentially concluded her bid for the governor’s mansion, the final result of which had been in doubt since Election Day, but she noted that she was not officially conceding the race.

While describing a variety of issues at the polls, Abrams said that "the state failed its voters."

"I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election. But to watch an elected official – who claims to represent the people in this state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote – has been truly appalling," Abrams said. "So let's be clear, this is not a speech of concession."

"In the coming days, we will be filing a major federal lawsuit against the state of Georgia for the gross mismanagement of this election and to protect future elections," she said.

I know this might be skirting the rules but this fiasco deserves special consideration.

I wonder if she used campaign funds to pay those Attorney retainers?

I wonder if she has standing since she's acknowledged that her opponent will be certified as Governor?

Abrams was asked about the flag-burning incident on the steps of the Georgia Capitol: “Do you stand by those actions and what message do you have for the people who are concerned that you burned a state symbol even though it contained a Confederate emblem?”Abrams responded with a word salad about how proud she was to be a Georgian, how she grew up in the state, went to Spelman College, went away to graduate school, but came back because she wanted to make Georgia a better place. Then she implied that burning the flag was part of that project:

If she wanted to make Georgia a better place, she should have set herself on fire instead of the state flag.

Happy with (what is presumed to be) the final outcome, but it is a little disturbing that she came as close as she did. The blatant gun-grabbing agenda alone should have blown her sky-high, with such a large margin of victory as to negate the need for a recount (or recounts).

It is scary. Karen Handle did loose as an example of where we are headed. I hope this McBath lady makes a fool of herself and we bounce back next time.

Georgia dodged a huge Hillery sized bullet. She would have attempted to turn the state into a southern version of California.

Dodged a bullet but I fear Georgia is toast in the near future... the Atlanta area is rapidly becoming a majority minority city.

Just look at most if not all democrat politicians. They are all JOKES! And nothing more than fakes, phonies and frauds. It is sad that half the country support and aspires to these democrats. Democrats in general are JOKES! All they have to do is open their mouth and nothing but shit falls out. Just like every city, county or state that is run by democrats, they are all SHIT. If I am wrong, please show me anything run by a democrat that is doing well.....

^ ^ ^ I can't.

The left ruins anything they touch. They could fuck up a steel ball with a rubber mallet.

Remember the good old days when the Dems would rail on that not accepting the results of an election would doom democracy. Seems like only 2 years ago.

So much for that new tone of civility the Dems claim to support. Even better in twisted liberal logic, Abrams is now a VICTIM of an evil white guy. It's not her fault she lost, not at all.
