Don't worry Stacey, Hollywood is all over this Several Hollywood actors have called for a boycott of Georgia’s film industry after Republican Brian Kemp officially won the state’s gubernatorial contest. The hashtag #boycottgeorgia began to trend after Stacey Abrams, a former Democratic state representative and romance novelist, announced Friday that she would no longer challenge the Georgia Secretary of State’s election results. While Abrams acknowledged Kemp would be the winner of the election, she refused to call her speech a “concession” because a “concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper.” Before Kemp was certified as the official victor, actors were already threatening to boycott working in Georgia, a state with a large film industry that’s been dubbed the Hollywood of the South. The reaction from Hollywood comes after Abrams has continued to argue, without evidence, that Kemp purposely suppressed black voters while he led the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. Abrams mounted several lawsuits over the election results and repeatedly declared she wouldn’t admit defeat until every vote was counted. Abrams has since responded to the calls for a boycott, saying that while she appreciates Hollywood’s calls for action, she does not want them to hurt people who make a living in the state’s film industry. Instead, the Democratic politician wants them to get involved in a new voting rights organization she is launching called “Fair Fight Georgia.” In a Sunday morning interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Abrams refused to call Kemp a “legitimate” governor and claimed there was “a deliberate and intentional disinvestment and I think destruction of the administration of elections in the state of Georgia.” Abrams said during the interview that she plans on running for office again. https://dailycaller.com/2018/1...ood-boycott-georgia/ | |||

Good, I hope for the sake of Georgia’s freedom the liberal actors stay away. While the film industry does create a lot of jobs in the state it also attracts undesirables from CA who vote for morons like Abrams. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

A copy of the lawsuit is at the bottom of the link. https://www.ajc.com/news/state...qZVmxHmXbAdfgc85TzL/ Federal lawsuit challenges fairness of Georgia’s elections Updated 3 hours ago By Mark Niesse, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution A federal lawsuit backed by former Democratic candidate for governor Stacey Abrams will attempt to overhaul the state’s elections, alleging “gross mismanagement” after Georgians suffered long lines, uncounted ballots and purged registrations during this month’s vote. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by a new group called Fair Fight Action, asks a judge to intervene to protect voting rights. Abrams, who lost to Republican Brian Kemp in the race for governor, isn’t trying to change the result of the election. But Abrams has said the election wasn’t fair because it limited voting access, disenfranchised minorities and undermined the public’s trust in democracy. She has said Kemp, who resigned his position as secretary of state after Election Day, was responsible. “The voters and the citizens of Georgia deserve an election they can have confidence in,” said Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action and Abrams’ campaign manager. “We’re going to seek to fix the system. Kemp supporters have argued that local election officials run voting in counties, not the Secretary of State’s office. Many of the problems cited on election day were the responsibility of local officials, they say. The lawsuit will ask for Georgia’s government to use paper ballots to validate the accuracy of elections, stop canceling voter registrations because they haven’t participated in a recent election, train local election officials and prevent the state’s “exact match” voter registration law from harming legitimate voters. Fair Fight Action said thousands of voters were discouraged from casting ballots during the election. Some voters were denied ballots because their their registrations had been canceled, they said. Others endured long lines and glitchy voting machines. Many had to travel longer distances to their polling places because 214 precincts closed across the state since 2012. Voters also reported that their mailed absentee ballots were never counted, they said, or that their provisional ballots were discarded because they weren’t validated within the state’s three-day deadline. | |||

The Georgia state ethics commission will subpoena bank records from Stacey Abrams’ 2018 gubernatorial campaign and several other groups that raised money to help her candidacy. David Emadi, a former Douglas County prosecutor who became director of the state ethics commission Monday, announced on Thursday that he will soon subpoena Abrams’ gubernatorial campaign, various political action committees and special interest groups that supported her failed campaign, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “What I can say about the investigation into the Abrams campaign is in the relatively near future, I expect we will be issuing subpoenas for bank and finance records of both Miss Abrams and various PACs and special-interest groups that were affiliated with her campaign,” Emadi said to reporters on Thursday. It’s not immediately clear what Abrams’ camp is being investigated for specifically, and the new director did not give many details on the matter. The ethics commission, known formally as the Georgia Government Transparency & Campaign Finance Commission, is tasked with collecting reports on lobbying expenditures, vendor grift and campaign finance. The Commission is also in charge of issuing penalties for any violations pertaining to these issues. Abrams’ former campaign manager hit back hard against the announcement. “This is Kemp’s corrupt playbook, his long history of launching frivolous investigations with bogus charges against political opponents,” Lauren Groh-Wargo said Thursday in a series of tweets, claiming Emadi to be a Kemp ally and the investigation a partisan hit job. “This is a shameful misuse of taxpayer dollars for a political vendetta. We will fight false accusations with every available resource.” Because there were over a dozen “independent groups” in support of Abrams 2018 campaign, most of them funded by out-of-state donors, Emadi said the investigation will take time as the Commission meticulously reviews all of the reports. News of the investigation comes as Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House, mulls not only a 2020 Senate bid in Georgia, but also a possible run for the White House. Her failed gubernatorial campaign against now-Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp drew national attention, and she has remained in the national spotlight as she continues to claim, without evidence, that Kemp used his former position as Georgia Secretary of State to maliciously tilt the election in his favor. The latest survey out of Georgia indicates that Abrams’ popularity is dropping in her home state. Since January, the Democrat’s favorability fell seven percentage points, while her unfavorable rating rose by 5 percentage points. At the same time, Kemp’s favorability has ticked upwards. “This new ethics investigation into Stacey Abrams is just the latest episode of her skirting the rules to further her personal political ambitions. This cloud of scandal will linger as she decides whether to embark on another failed campaign,” Nathan Brand, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, stated Thursday. Abrams has said she may wait until the fall to decide on a presidential bid. https://dailycaller.com/2019/0...campaign-subpoenaed/ | |||

Abrams, like the rest of the democrat party is a joke and the ignoramus's that voted for her are mentally challenged, or living in a constant state of a WET DREAM......and I want to apologize in advance to truly mentally challenged people and teenage boys having those dreams. | |||

She's a zero, a genuine zero. It's incredible that she's even up there on the stage. She has no qualifications for the office of governor- zero. She's black, female and she hates her state and she hates this nation. That's it. Nothing else. The Democrats think she's a great candidate. Freakin' ridiculous. They might have just chosen a candidate at random. I'll tell you this- if she wins, I'll be moving out of this state eventually. This gun-grabbing twat isn't going to take jack shit from me. I'll end up in Florida. | |||

I am praying that Tudor Dixon wins. If that commie Whitmer somehow pulls this out I will be shocked after what she has inflicted on that state. Same with NY. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

This ^^^^^ Sadly, that's probably unlikely I can live with Whitmer getting another term. (More because I think it likely than anything else.) Even Nessel and Benson. I'm most concerned about Prop. 2. If that passes I fear it'll be all over but the crying. In that case I'll be more seriously looking at Plans. At that point I figure there'll no longer be any point to my even bothering to vote in Michigan. "America is at that awkward stage.

I think Whitmer will be elected again. The big cities in the lower peninsula is where she has her support. I will be voting for Dixon and hoping for the best. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
