Stacey Abrams: 2018 Election ‘Was Stolen from the Voters of Georgia’
EXCERPT:
CRUZ: “Ms. Abrams, it's been over two year, you still refuse to concede that you lost the race for governor in Georgia in 2018. You have said that, quote, 'you do not concede that the process was proper' and that, quote, 'they stole it from the voters of Georgia.' Yes or no, today, do you still maintain that the 2018 Georgia election was stolen?”
ABRAMS: “As I've always said I acknowledged at the very beginning that Brian Kemp won under the rules that were in place. What I object to are rules that permitted thousands of Georgia voters to be denied their participation in this election and had their votes cast out. And so I will continue to disagree with the system until it is fixed. We have seen marked progress made, and unfortunately it was undone in SB 202 but I will continue to advocate for a system that permits every eligible Georgian to cast their ballot --“ [crosstalk]
CRUZ: “Ms. Abrams, I'm going to ask you to please answer the question I ask, which is do you -- yes or no, do you still maintain the 2018 election was stolen, that's your language.”
ABRAMS: “My full language was that it was stolen from the voters of Georgia. We do not know what they would have done because not every eligible Georgian was permitted to participate fully in the election.”
