Stacey Abrams is again raising concerns about voter suppression in Georgia, rejecting claims that record early turnout has undermined her criticism of the state's new Republican-crafted election law.
Abrams' spokesman Alex Floyd reiterated that pledge, adding: "Meanwhile, her opponent Brian Kemp passed an anti-voter law in response to conspiracy theories and false claims of voter fraud and said he was ‘frustrated’ about the outcome of the 2020 election."Refusing to concede has become a "playbook" for candidates on both sides, said Jennifer Morrell, a former elections official and partner at the nonpartisan Elections Group.
She declined to speak directly to Abrams’ claims or Georgia's voting policy but said: "For years there have been these unwritten democratic norms, and one of those has been conceding. But sometimes we forget those norms because we have watched people not lose graciously."showed just about a quarter of Democratic voters were not confident the state's 2022 election would be fair, compared to more than half of Republicans.
Glenna Jackson, an Abrams supporter from Canton, Georgia, told Axios that she believes Abrams was a victim of voter suppression in 2018 — and that if the Democrat loses in 2022, that will again be the case. "I really do think it's voter suppression. Somehow, something's going to find a way," she said. But, if Abrams wins, "then everything has to be right."
