Brian Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State and the Republican nominee for Georgia governor, expressed at a ticketed campaign event that his Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams’ voter turnout operation “continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote,” according to audio obtained by Rolling Stone.Kemp then asserted that much of that Abrams effort is focused on absentee ballot requests. “They have just an unprecedented number of that,” he said, “which is something that continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote — which they absolutely can — and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that.”
f a young African-American woman couldn’t one-up a sitting Georgia governor over Confederate symbolism, she wasn’t going to have much of a future in politics. And a spokeswoman for the Abrams campaign on Tuesday noted that the demonstration wasn’t just peaceful, but properly permitted.

This isn’t a huge bombshell. Abrams made her position on historic secessionists well-known last year, when she called for the removal of the giant Confederate figures carved into the side of Stone Mountain.

In any case, if you’re still pining for the restoration of a flag that was intended as a middle-fingered protest against racial integration, it’s very likely that you weren’t going to vote for a black woman anyway.Atlanta.com
