Friend --
Stacey Abrams isn't sitting back after leading Democrats to victory in Georgia in 2022. Instead, she is still tirelessly getting the message out about voter suppression tactics and the danger that Republicans are putting our country in by encouraging their base to question the 2020 election results.
Speaking on MSNBC earlier this week, Abrams had the following to say:
“These are schemes designed to perpetuate, not only the Big Lie, but more concerning to me, it's to perpetuate the insurrection.”
She's absolutely right. The question at the heart of the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol was the authenticity of the results of the 2020 election. To this day, there is zero evidence of any kind of widespread voter fraud anywhere in the US. But by continuing to ask questions about debunked conspiracy theories (or outright spreading them), radical Republicans are simply extending the insurrection past January 6th.
Even more frightening is the fact that Republicans will use these ongoing audits to provide cover for expanded voter suppression legislation. In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp is doing just that, having recently signed the sprawling SB 202 into law.
Democrats know the real reason that Kemp wanted to pass this law, though. Stacey Abrams herself is likely to challenge Kemp for the governorship in 2022. Kemp stole the election in 2018 by using dirty suppression tactics, and he's planning to double down in 2022 to defeat her once again.
