Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and Democratic activist Stacey Abrams still maintains that voter suppression tactics are being implemented in the state despite voter turnout reaching record levels.
Almost four million Georgians have already cast their vote in the highly contested general election, but Abrams told CNN that does not mean that nefarious activity to suppress votes is not happening.
Democrats have falsely claimed voter laws in Georgia were similar to Jim Crow laws and aimed at preventing minorities from voting. Abrams specifically complained about the mail-in voting in 2024 being restricted compared to 2020.
Proper identification is also needed to vote via absentee ballot.
"Well, while we are excited about who's showing up, we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity. A lot of those voters in 2020 were able to vote by mail. One of the reasons we‘re seeing early lines is because they can no longer use the easier method of voting by mail because of SB 202, because of SB 189, laws that [Secretary of State Brad] Raffensperger and [Gov.] Brian Kemp supported and pushed forward," she said.
"People who are disabled, people who have lost their homes are facing harder times casting their ballots, but they refuse to be silenced. And what we are excited about is that here in the state of Georgia, despite the government making it harder to cast your ballot, people are willing to fight to make it happen anyway," Abrams continued. "So they're showing up; they're standing in lines they shouldn‘t have to stand in because they believe their voices matter and that this election matters. And we believe they‘re standing in these lines especially to support Kamala Harris."
Georgia voting laws include needing a valid ID to vote in person, and many ID options are accepted. Absentee ballots are also an option, but "to protect against voter fraud, Georgia law only allows close relatives and caregivers to request and return absentee ballots for another person." Proper identification is also needed to vote via absentee ballot.
Nearly half of the expected voting population has already voted in Georgia, mirroring a few other swing states that will determine the victor in next week's election. Over 3.4 million early voters voted in person, and over 226,000 submitted absentee ballots, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
By day 15 of early voting in 2024, a record-breaking 3.2 million Georgians had already cast a ballot. By day 15 in 2020, just under two million had voted early and only 1.6 million in 2022.

Democrats use ‘Negro nagging’ to keep disobedient black men in line
Vice President Kamala Harris recently held a town hall in Detroit, and the best part about it was how she avoided speaking to black men in the familiar SIGN language — shame, insults, guilt, and nagging — that the left favors.
The event, hosted by “The Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne tha God, didn’t reveal much new about the Democrats’ presidential nominee. It did, however, highlight Charlamagne’s role as more of a campaign surrogate than an objective journalist or political commentator. He framed Harris' campaign as a battle against two foes: Donald Trump and “misinformation.” He also asserted that the choice for voters in November is between Harris and “fascism.”
The professional 'Negro naggers' on the left will only intensify their attacks if Trump wins the election due to increased black male support.
Harris reiterated her recent policies aimed at black men, including marijuana legalization, but avoided the tongue-lashing her surrogates have grown accustomed to delivering. This approach benefits her campaign, yet it remains the exception on the left, not the rule.
Democrats and their media surrogates often engage in what some call “Negro nagging” to pressure uncooperative black men back into the fold. Barack Obama caused a stir with a public rebuke during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, chastising “the brothers” for considering sitting out the election or even voting for Donald Trump because they don’t want to support a female candidate.
Obama appears to believe that since more than 80% of black men voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, they should now automatically support Kamala Harris. This disregard for political independence also aligns with Joy Reid’s recent comment that black men who support Trump are fueling a “fascist groundswell.” Similarly, Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View,” labeled black Trump voters as “ridiculous” and “crazy” with nary an objection from her co-hosts.
This is not how you speak to people you hope to persuade. This is how you speak to people you believe you own.
I wouldn’t criticize a man for calling out his brother for cheating on his wife or abandoning his family. Being a husband and father comes with God-given responsibilities. However, no American has a moral obligation to vote for any particular party or candidate, and that holds true for black people and Democrats just as much as it does for white evangelicals and Republicans. One of the biggest problems in American politics today is that politicians have become far too comfortable with reversing roles. They act as if our job is to vote for them, when in reality, it’s their job to work for us.
This attitude is why progressive voices have been berating black men since the last presidential election. In 2020, Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper called black men voting for Trump “traitorous MFs.” One Democratic congressional candidate claimed that one in five black men voted for Trump because “they hate black women.” In 2022, former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross even said black men in Georgia should “get in line” behind black women and vote for Stacey Abrams.
The Democrats clearly struggle with how they communicate with men, a problem that’s worsened by their obsession with race and identity. This is why they speak to disobedient black men with such disdain. My hope for this election cycle is that millions of black men will wake up to this reality. I also hope they embrace their role as political homewreckers.
The unholy alliance between black feminists and white liberals, formed in the 1960s, has wreaked havoc on both the black family and African-American political engagement for decades. In this political triangle, the government takes the role of the new patriarch, black women serve as the loyal spouse, and black men are treated like children under the care of their mother and her new boyfriend.
The professional “Negro naggers” on the left will only intensify their attacks if Trump wins the election due to increased black male support. That’s certainly one approach Democrats can take to address their problems, but it won’t work with black men who reject being treated like boys by women who didn’t birth them.
Jack Smith’s Trump Lawfare Is Still A Middle Finger To The First Amendment
Smith implicitly acknowledges that while some votes may have been fraudulent, only the DOJ can decide when it's acceptable to speak out against fraudulent votes.Top Georgia official lands knockout blow after Stacey Abrams gets mad when CNN anchor calls her out for election denialism
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) is once again setting the record straight.
On Wednesday, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins confronted Democrat Stacey Abrams over her rhetoric about the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race. Despite losing the race to now-Gov. Brian Kemp (R), Abrams told supporters that she actually "won" the race, she refused to concede her loss, and she even claimed the race was "stolen."
'The latest comments from Stacey Abrams show that she still can’t accept that she lost in 2018.'
Collins asked Abrams whether she "regrets" her past claims. The innocent question clearly frustrated Abrams.
The twice-failed gubernatorial candidate responded by chiding Collins to "go back to elementary school," claiming she didn't contest the 2018 election outcome itself, but the "process that was used," and alleged the "courts agreed with us."
When Collins pushed back — citing Abrams' own words — Abrams immediately interjected and stopped Collins from talking.
"Well, I do remember the time you told the New York Times, 'I won.' You did describe it as a stolen election. The courts did side with the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger—" Collins said before she was cut off.
"Kaitlan, that's actually incorrect," Abrams interjected. "And normally, I wouldn't cut you off. But you're repeating disinformation."
Abrams claimed a 2022 court decision that ruled against her claims actually ruled in her favor. She accused Collins of only reading "headlines" to the detriment of the "fine print."
Raffensperger responds
Is Abrams telling the truth? Is Collins guilty of spewing "disinformation"? Not according to Raffensperger.
"In my time in office, I have spent a lot of time holding failed candidates like Stacey Abrams accountable to Georgia's voters," he said in a statement. "The latest comments from Stacey Abrams show that she still can’t accept that she lost in 2018. And the fact that she still can’t accept that means she has no business going on TV talking about defending democracy."
The truth of the matter, Raffensperger added, is that Abrams "lost fair and square under the established rules of the game."
"She even spent over $50 million of her donors’ money to try to show that the rules were unfair to her, but she completely lost on all her claims," he explained.
"She lost not because of any technicality like she now tries to claim, but because, after getting millions of documents and conducting hundreds of depositions, the evidence didn’t support her claims," he wrote. "She had every chance in the world to prove her claims of 'systematic voter suppression' and she couldn’t do it because her claims were nothing but cheap, political talking points."
Raffensperger accused Abrams of using "flowery language about protecting the right to vote" to obscure the fact "that she is just an election denier."
"She wants everyone to forget that her group continually referred to the 2018 election as a 'stolen election' and referred to Governor Kemp as Governor* Kemp for many months after he was legitimately elected and sworn in," Raffensperger went on to say. "But Abrams and Fair Fight did both of those things, and they should be ashamed.
"The only thing she should be going on TV to say is that she lost the 2018 election fair and square and that she apologizes for her post-election refusal to accept that fact," he said.

A Democrat’s Ultimate Free Pass: ‘Especially Black And Brown People’
The phrase operates as a form of insurance for Democrats who refuse to be held responsible for their transgressions'A gift to MAGA election deniers': New Georgia law requires absentee ballots to be counted, reported on Election Night
A new voting reform bill in Georgia, just signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, would require all absentee ballots to be tabulated and the results reported on Election Night.
On Monday, Kemp signed SB 189, which makes several significant changes to Georgia's election procedures. The bill removed some possible conflicts of interest between the secretary of state, the state Board of Elections, and those involved with counting ballots; compels homeless residents to list their county register's office as their mailing address; prevents voters from using a P.O. box or private mailbox service as proof of residency; and requires individuals who have voted or registered to vote in another state or district to re-register in their original district before they will be allowed to cast a ballot there, WSBTV.com reported.
"Public confidence in elections is paramount to keeping civil order and facilitating transfers of power from one party to another."
The bill also explicitly requires all absentee ballots to be counted and reported within one hour of the polls closing on Election Day:
All absentee ballots that have been verified and accepted ... by the Monday prior to the day of the primary, election, or runoffshall be tabulated and the results reported by no later than 8:00 P.M. on the day of such primary, election, or runoff or within one hour of the closing of all polls in such county, whichever occurs later.
This new rule is so noteworthy that Jeremiah Poff of the Washington Examiner claimed that it "will do wonders for election integrity in the Peach State" and that "every state should pass" a measure like it. "Public confidence in elections is paramount to keeping civil order and facilitating transfers of power from one party to another. Counting votes in a timely and accurate manner is essential to keeping that confidence," Poff wrote.
However, many on the left are less enthusiastic about the new bill. Fair Fight Action, an organization reportedly founded by twice-failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, called it "a gift to MAGA election deniers" and claimed it will embolden "right-wing activists in their efforts to kick Black and brown voters off the rolls."
Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, likewise called the bill "a step back for voters’ rights and voting access." "This bill will require already overburdened election workers to spend time processing unnecessary voter challenges," Young said in a statement.
Some of the bill's changes will not be implemented for months or even years to come, but most of them — including the new rules regarding absentee ballots — go into effect in July.
A spokesperson for Gov. Kemp did not provide USA Today a statement about the new bill but did confirm to the outlet that Kemp signed it on Monday.
