We’re pretty sure that by this point, even Stacey Abrams has given up on the idea that she’s the rightful governor of Georgia, but Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes is still clinging to the idea that Abrams only lost because of voter suppression efforts by Republicans, even though there was record voter turnout in Georgia.
Stacey Abrams should should be the Governor of Georgia. The only reason that she's not is because the system is set up by guys like this to prevent people from voting. https://t.co/fLXIdD9652

And that she lost by 50K votes

Ben, partner, this self delusion is unhealthy. There was record voter turnout on both sides of the aisle in the 2018 Ga. gov. election. Abrams lost w/ nearly 600,000 MORE votes than the last winning governor. The voter suppression claim is simply wrong. 1/2

Also, elections in Ga. (polling places, etc) are managed @ the county level, not by the SoS. And the clean-up of voter rolls was legally required under a 1994 law enacted a Democratic Governor, a Dem legislature and Dem Secretary of State.

She lost. Period.

Facts like a huge voter turnout don’t support this absurd claim.

Give credit where credit is due, at least he put a warning label on it which reads: Ben Rhodes.

Is there one Democrat that admits they lost a race fair and square? It seems every Dem has followed crooked Hillary’s lead and blames their loss on some outside force
