Purge all registered voters and start all over at square one.
Via TWS:
On Friday, Democrat Stacey Abrams, the Georgia gubernatorial candidate who narrowly lost to Brian Kemp, delivered the single most ungracious and self-serving concession speech we can remember. “So let’s be clear,” she said,
this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. Now, I can certainly bring a new case to keep this one contest alive, but I don’t want to hold public office if I need to scheme my way into the post. Because the title of governor isn’t nearly as important as our shared title—voters. And that is why we fight on.
Vowing to “fight on” or “keep the movement alive” is de rigueur in concession speeches, but Abrams was trying to rob her opponent of legitimacy. On Sunday, speaking to Jake Tapper on State of the Union, Abrams acknowledge that Kemp, who has been secretary of state since 2010, is legally the governor-elect, but entangled herself in a double-negative rhetorical question to avoid calling the election legitimate: “Will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I will not say that.”
She claims her opponent suppressed Democratic votes, but there is no evidence for this. Abrams and her allies point out that large numbers of people have been removed from voter rolls—1.5 million Georgians since 2012—but their contention that Kemp “purged” these names as secretary of state is false. The state’s “Use It or Lose It” law, passed in 1997 by a Democratic legislature and signed by Democratic governor Zell Miller, requires that voters who don’t vote or otherwise respond to requests from local voting offices to update their registration status be deemed inactive. This ensures that people who’ve died or moved away can no longer “vote” in state elections—i.e. that their identities can’t be used for untoward electoral purposes.
