ATLANTA (AP) — Stacey Abrams’ campaign is preparing an unprecedented legal challenge in the unresolved Georgia governor’s race that could leave the state’s Supreme Court deciding whether to force another round of voting.

The Democrat’s longshot strategy relies on a statute that’s never been used in such a high-stakes contest. It is being discussed as Georgia elections officials appear to be on the cusp of certifying Republican Brian Kemp as the winner of a bitterly fought campaign that’s been marred by charges of electoral malfeasance.

Top Abrams advisers outlined her prospective case to The Associated Press, stressing that the Democratic candidate hasn’t finalized a decision about whether to proceed once state officials certify Kemp as the victor. That could happen as early as Friday evening.

Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Abrams’ campaign chairwoman, is overseeing a team of almost three-dozen lawyers who in the coming days will draft the petition, along with a ream of affidavits from voters and would-be voters who say they were disenfranchised. Abrams would then decide whether to go to court under a provision of Georgia election law that allows losing candidates to challenge results based on “misconduct, fraud or irregularities ... sufficient to change or place in doubt the results.”

The legal team is “considering all options,” Lawrence-Hardy said, including federal court remedies. But the state challenge is the most drastic. And some Democratic legal observers note Abrams would be dependent on statutes that set a high bar for the court to intervene.
electoral malfeasance. unholy hell.

Who is paying for her what was it 50-60 million dollar campaign and now a team of lawyers?

She would be better served spending that money on a good orthodontist than wasting it on this futile attempt. Can't the SOS certify the election?

She must have leftover contribution money. She's got a new set of ads running, practically begging for folks to say they had water hoses turned on them at the polls.

So - the strategy is recounts, and if those don’t work, keep redoing the election until she wins.


Hillary really set the bar when it comes to respecting the results of an election....

There WAS a lot of Stacey memes. They were scrubbed. The second link is just a basic pic of Stacey. All of the funny ones-(I posted here) gone. Now there is a political fact check that someone said Stacey was a communist (I never saw this one) and they point out in 3 different search engines SHE IS NOT A COMMUNIST! The only meme that shows now is one of her gap in her teeth filled with a pic or Trump saying THE WALL. It is like they want to show meaness as I don't remember that one created nor saw it.

I was just going to ask poli board lawyers how much it costs to retain 36 election law/civil rights? lawyers. The gist of her not winning because Georgia is racist is ludicrous.

Just do the math. 36 lawyers x per hour (80.00 to 1000.00 depends on who) x 8 hours a day or more. Not including retainers for some of the reputable attornies. I mean she could have 36 x 100 per hour and its still a lot to just piss into the wind with whack lawsuits.

Amazing that even middle of the road Dems are actually classifying themselves as Dems. I'd be embarrassed by their behavior.
