GA-GOV: Georgia Senate committee shifts its focus to Stacey Abrams and allies
A Georgia state senate panel has issued subpoenas to Stacey Abrams and allies over allegations of election law violations during the 2018 election, calling on her to testify at the state Capitol Friday.
Abrams said she will appear before the panel “at a mutually agreeable date,” but in a statement released Monday night, called the hearing a partisan sham aimed at intimidating voting rights advocates.
“It is not lost on me that I am being summoned days after the U.S. Supreme Court gutted protections for minority voting power and after I testified against the unconscionable voter suppression process unfolding across several Southern states,” Abrams said. “Building voting power, especially among minority communities, is why I started leading voter registration campaigns in Georgia over 30 years ago, and why we remain so threatening to those currently in office.”
Abrams associates Lauren Groh-Wargo and Nsé Ufot were also called to testify.
