Desperate measures: Republicans pull every trick (and every power cord) to suppress black vote

Stacey Abrams shouldn’t just not concede, but her campaign should also sue for election fraud and corruption. Brian Kemp, the man overseeing the elections, who happens to be Abrams’ GOP opponent, has been over the top with his voter suppression tactics. He’s tried everything from blocking tens of thousands of legitimate voter applications to...
