Evans joining with the GOP to push the idea that Abram’s work in registering Black voters amounts to voter fraud.

Democratic candidate for governor Stacey Evans is raising doubts about a major voter registration effort founded by her primary election rival Stacey Abrams, whose rise to national prominence is fueled in part on the promise that she can reach new voters.

Evans questioned Abrams’ assertion that she has helped register more than 200,000 Georgia voters since 2013, when she founded the New Georgia Project.

Evans, who faces Abrams in Tuesday’s Democratic Party primary, demanded a “full accounting” of how many new voters were registered, saying federal election data fail to back up Abrams’ assertions.

“The figures don’t match her claims, and that’s why we need clear answers. We need to get to the bottom of this. That’s why transparency and accountability are so important here,” Evans said in an interview. “She’ll have some explaining to do.”

Abrams’ campaign rejected Evans’ attack on her work with the New Georgia Project, a nonprofit organization trying to boost the number of registered voters who are minorities and under 30 years old.

“Evans’ false accusations have been proven wrong again and again as Stacey Abrams and organizations like the NAACP have successfully fought to register voters and bring (Republican Secretary of State Brian) Kemp’s voter suppression to light,” Abrams spokeswoman Priyanka Mantha said. “Stacey Abrams is the only voting rights champion in this race.”

“Where rats appear, they bring ruin by destroying mankind’s goods and foodstuffs. In this way, they spread disease, plague, leprosy, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and so on. They are cunning, cowardly and cruel and are found mostly in large packs. Among the animals, they represent the rudiment of an insidious, underground destruction – just like the Jews among human beings.” — The Eternal Jew (Nazi propaganda film)

OTOH, I’m quite fond of an occasional Hazelnut Caipiroska.

As much as I agree with the comparison being made between what Trump is saying and what the Nazis said, I hope you understand that I find myself unable to click “Like” on your comment.

Some people are just too fucking ignorant to get sarcasm, irony, recent history, or current events.
