Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Stacy Abrams and Andrew Gillum ran as progressives. Andy Beshear ran as a moderate. [View all]MyOwnPeace
(17,474 posts)28. It was sanctioned voter fraud in Georgia!
"In Georgia, it was all about a racist fucking cracker Attorney General manipulating the vote because he was in a position to steal the election."
Amazing, isn't it, that the Attorney General, who just happens to be running for Governor, allows thousands of voters to be swept from the right to vote. Oh, did I mention that a large majority of those voters were people who were from areas that had generally voted against the Attorney General's party?
And yet someone will complain that the Dems had failed in some way to win the position?
The failure is in allowing the theft of an office to take place (see: Presidential election - 2000; Presidential election - 2016).

If there had not been hijinks with voter suppression, both Gillum and Abrams would have won.

This also confirms our Primary elections in the midwest last year. Moderates won, progressives lost.

Beshar was no where to be found when Sanders came. He ran a local campaign...not national.

I'm confident that Abrams won by at least the margin it looks like Beshear will win. NT
