She could have handled i better, however considering what happened with the voters being removed from the rolls that perhaps shouldn't have, I think she was right in waiting to make sure everything was counted. Keep in mind the question was never if she was going to win outright, but if Kemp would remain above 50 to avoid a runoff.
Yeah, the deck was stacked against her from the beginning, but she came closer than I ever thought she would. Rural Georgia would never be for a black woman for governor and that is where she got overwhelmed.
All valid and legal votes should be counted. There is no question about that. Georgia Law was followed. She, you and other progressives can change the law if you don’t like it. Selectively following laws one finds to their liking is not a very good recipe for the good health of our Constitutional Republic.
Btw, the Georgia House of Representatives and State Senate passed the law, SOS follows the law. You are not even blaming the right people.

Combine that with all Kemp's 'data match' bullshyte and I'm glad all the votes were counted.
Thanks to Abrams, her minions are already parroting her "Kemp's not a legitimately elected governor" crapulence--soon, no doubt, to morph into Not my governor.
I don't know a lot about Stacey Abrams, but I did see a speech of hers where she was shouting about how the state was 54% (or thereabouts, I'm going from memory) "people of color." Not just stating it as a fact, but railing, as if it meant that she deserved to win. How is that not an appeal to race?
So I can't say I'm too disappointed she lost. Likewise with the FL Dem who tried to make it a race about race. GA and FL are both trending blue; they can find some better D candidates who don't depend on appeals to race.
She got more votes than Hillary, but less than Trump.
Everyone campaigned. Dems lost, fair and square.
