Abrams Complains Race Was Stolen Through Voter Suppression, Boasts of Huge Turnout Increases in Same Interview:
"I ran a race where … we tripled Latino turnout, Asian-Pacific
Islander turnout, increased youth participation rates by 138 percent,
increased black turnout by 40 percent, and I got the highest share of
white voters in a generation," she said. "It is not a zero-sum game, and
we have to remember that winning elections is about building the
largest coalition possible." ...
"I'm not saying I absolutely know I would have won, but we know that
thousands of Georgians had their voices stolen because they were not
able to cast ballots and they cannot be guaranteed that their votes will
be counted in 2020 if we don't do this right," she said.
Georgia voter turnout surged from 43 percent in 2014, the last governor's race year in the state, to 57 percent in 2018. ... Abrams lost by less than 55,000 votes but failed to force a runoff as Kemp continued a Republican state-wide winning streak.
However, Abrams has refused to officially concede
she lost, saying "we won," accusing Kemp of systemic voter suppression
tactics, and saying the race was "stolen" from the voters of Georgia.
