Republicans Are Raging Mad That Stacey Abrams Sister Is The Judge Who Stopped Voter Purge In Georgia
There is at least one federal judge who Donald Trump did not appoint.
And not only is she a Black woman but she also just happens to be the sister of Stacey Abrams, the all-star Democratic champion of the peoples right to vote who basically secured Georgias electoral college votes that ensured Trumps election loss to Joe Biden.
So when U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner ruled on Monday that two Georgia counties must undo their purging of thousands of voters from the election rolls, the Republicans who worked so hard to remove those names got very mad at what they called a conflict of interest. Adding insult to the injuries sustained to Republicans egos, Judge Abrams Gardners order came one week ahead of Georgias pivotal Senate runoff elections that will determine whether Democrats control both chambers of Congress.
The ruling allows more than 4,000 voters to keep their eligibility to participate in the election on Tuesday in two separate contests in which Democrats are trying to unseat Republican incumbents. Judge Abrams Gardners order followed a different judge denying a lawsuit asking for nearly 200,000 voters to be restored to the voter rolls.
The fact that the person who ordered that purge reversal is Stacey Abrams sister really stuck in Republicans collective craw, as shown by a series of Twitter temper tantrums.
Georgia Rep. Doug Collins tweeted that it was a conflict of interest for the ruling on a case in which her own sister is a party!
