'Skeptics can be converted': Stacey Abrams says convincing Americans of voter suppression is crucial via jonward11
Stacey Abrams has made it her mission to elevate the issue of voter suppression in the national political conversation, but she told Yahoo News there’s also a big challenge in winning over those who doubt that it’s a problem in the first place.
But she has also spoken about the climate of fear that has long existed in the Deep South and was perpetuated by incidents like the arrest, prosecution and legal limbo of the so-called Quitman 10+2 from 2010 to 2016, in which Kemp played a part. Yahoo News published an extensive investigation in August into this incident, showing that Kemp kept the matter open before the state’s Board of Elections for over a year after a jury had found no wrongdoing in the matter.
Abrams is trying mightily to bring more attention to the issue of voter suppression, believing that she can move the ball forward slowly but surely. In fact, the website for Fair Fight — one of the groups Abrams started after the 2018 election — explicitly links the issue of foreign interference in elections with voter suppression. “Foreign interference and sophisticated voter suppression threatens our ability to freely elect our leaders,” the site says.
“It is to look at the three pillars of voter suppression. Can you register and stay on the rolls? Can you cast your ballot? And can your ballot be counted?” Abrams said. “It’s fighting back against poll closures, encouraging people who are registered to make sure they don’t get purged, or ensuring that signature mismatches aren’t used to throw out ballots.”
