Wow. Not conceding sure does paint the picture of a sore loser.

I don't get why conceding matters. Once upon a time the winner would acknowledge that there was a large group of dissenting voters and that they were going to represent ALL. Those days are gone. Now it is. "I won and will do what I want and scr3w you...if you don't like it, suck it up snowflake." Deal was loved by republicans and democrats because he did what he thought was right for Georgia---and didn't succumb to this and represented all. Will Kemp be like This? We shall see. My bet is he doesn't have the spine to stand up to the fringe of his party that got him elected. Maybe he will surprise me, but I have a sense that in 2022, I won't be able to say Kemp without a string of other 4 letter words. I hope I am wrong.....

Conceding after waiting for every last vote to be counted is irrelevant.

Agreed. A disgrace to Georgia. She was likable to some extent until she was handed a loss in front of the country. Very immature and embarrassing IMO. Hopefully we never hear from her again.

Unless I can move away, I'm stuck with Brian Kemp as governor.

The sheer beauty of a democracy. Imagine,one can open or close a door, go out or in, and nobody cares what you decide. It works. 😊

Yes, you are absolutely correct. However, many times change in the legislature does not occur until an issue has been loudly protested. Had the civil rights movement not occurred, I doubt that legislators would have been moved to act to pass civil rights legislation. Ms. Abrams is simply doing her part to cause legislators to act.

Canada is a popular place, or you could move to NY or CA.

I have no problem with anyone advocating for changes through the legislative process. Her stance of filing a federal lawsuit seems petty and will NOT aid her future efforts if she wants a role representing Georgia.

I support her 100% in her pursuit of justice in this matter.
