Stacey Abrams says she has continuing doubts about voting equity in her upcoming rematch with incumbent Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, telling ABC News that she would 'not question the outcome of the election' but would continue to 'question the process.'
"What is deeply concerning to me is the conflation of access to the right to vote and the outcome of elections."
When Abrams finally acknowledged on Nov. 16, 2018, that Kemp had won, she pointedly stated that it was "not a concession speech." But asDemocratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams poses for a portrait in front of the State Seal of Georgia on Aug. 8, 2022, in Decatur, Ga."What I said in that speech is that I would not concede [to] a system that would not permit voters to be heard," she said.
On Friday, shortly before her interview with ABC News, a federal judge knocked down a lawsuit challenging Georgia's election practices, ruling in favor of the state. Fair Fight Action, a group founded by Abrams, filed the suit shortly after the 2018 election and as part of the suit called for an overhaul of Georgia's voting system.
U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, an Obama-era appointee, wrote in his order that "although Georgia's election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the [Voting Rights Act of 1965]."
