Oct 2018

on the news last night they were talking about Georgia, and in the Governor's race, some guy Kemp (repig) is also involved on the state level, is suppressing votes of the black people who filled out their registrations, cause he is running against Stacey Abrams

Brian Kemp. In his race for governor, Brian Kemp -- who has been Georgia's secretary of state since 2010 -- calls himself a “politically incorrect conservative.”Jul 24, 2018

and

Stacey Abrams is running for Governor of Georgia in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election. In the Democratic primary she ran against Stacey Evans, another member of the Georgia House of Representatives. The media has referred to this as "the battle of the Staceys."
