| Stacey 'Boxcar' Abrams Claimed ‘Voter Suppression Is Real' |
| 2019-02-07 |
| [Breitbart] Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed in the Democrat response to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday that "voter suppression is real." Abrams claimed, without evidence, that voter suppression is taking place in three specific ways. "Let’s be clear: voter suppression is real. From [1] making it harder to register and stay on the rolls, [2] to moving and closing polling places, [3] to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy," Abrams asserted. Abrams also made a straw man argument that, "We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a power grab." No one, however, has said that "allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a power grab." Supporters of election integrity focus on preventing ineligible voters from illegally casting ballots. As for her three specific, unsubstantiated assertions, here are the facts: |

| #14 She is right though. Voter suppression IS real. Democrats practice it every election, along with dead voting, foreign invader voting and multiple vote casting, vote creation through 'found boxes.' Anyone showing up with a box they claim is full of 'uncounted' votes should simply be shot. Repeatedly. And their head placed outside of the closest polling place. |

| #10 She had no facts, only unsubstantiated assertions. There were no statistics that could be fact checked. Probably that was by design. But, of course we want certain votes suppressed: those of dead people, illegal aliens and felons. |

| #6 IMHO, it looks like a bad job of green-screen compositing. Look at the weird edges on her hair and shoulders. On the other hand, it could just be incredibly bad lighting. The key light on her face looks straight on rather than from the side. Nope - she's so fat she has her own massive gravitational field that bends light. I bet she could suppress five Big Macs in three minutes. |

| #4 it looks like she is in front of a room full of ghosts IMHO, it looks like a bad job of green-screen compositing. Look at the weird edges on her hair and shoulders.

| #1 Just last night a friend made an accurate comment that giving women the right to vote and run for office was a huge mistake. Have to agree |
