Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams says that she will win her election on Tuesday “if voters can “navigate” the alleged voter suppression systems installed in her state by her opponent Gov. Brian Kemp, R-Ga.”
Most of her interview with MSNBC was spent “complaining about Georgia Republicans’ supposed voter suppression initiatives and attempts to “game the system” to stay in power next election day, despite record early voting turnout across the state.”
The conversation began with the host bringing up polling which has Abrams “trailing Gov. Kemp by double digits.” Though he mentioned how some polling experts claim that the race is tighter than it seems.
He asked Abrams what she thought of the state of the race. She replied that she was confident she’d win, provided her voters can get through the voter suppression tactics that she claimed were being employed by the party in power.
Abrams stated, “And while the polls are always going to tell the story you want to see, what we know is that the untold story is that this is a tight race, it is neck and neck, and we believe that we are on a path to victory if we can get all our voters turned out and if they can navigate the difficulties put in place by Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger.”
Abrams made the same claim in the 2018 election as well. She claims this go around there is a reason so many people are turning out early to vote.
She continued, claiming that early voting turnout in Georgia is high because people “understand that Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger put barriers in place, that they’re going to be denied access to food and water in lines that in years past have stretched up to four, eight hours. They know that there have been more difficulties put in place for absentee ballots.”
She also mentioned voter suppression from “White supremacist groups and hard right-wing groups” who “have been challenging people’s right to vote.” She added, “Up to 75,000 people have had their right to vote challenged because of the law passed by Brian Kemp. And he did so because he was frustrated by the results.”
What do you think? Is she already making excuses for a loss on Tuesday or is she speaking the truth?
