Stacey Abrams is sending her message far and wide, that Georgia’s governor election was not “free and fair,” and that secretary of state and Sen.-elect Brian Kemp (R-GA) is to blame.
“It was not a free and fair election,” Abrams told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. “We had thousands of Georgians who were purged from the rolls wrongly.”
“It was not fair to the thousands who were forced to wait in long lines because they were at polling place that’s were under-resourced, or worse, they had no poling places to go to because more than 300 had been closed,” she continued. “It was not fair to the thousands who had been put on hold with their registrations. And it was not fair to those who filled out absentee ballots, and, depending on the county you sent it to, it was either counted or not counted—assuming you received it in time.”
“Brian Kemp oversaw for eight years the systemic dismantling of our democracy, and that meant there could not be free and fair elections in Georgia this year,” she concluded.
