Elections Post: Abrams to Take Another Bite of that Sweet Georgia Peach

AP, Stacey Abrams launches 2nd campaign for Georgia governor. Da Wire and PM have the same titles, BREAKING: Stacey Abrams Announces She Is Running For Georgia Governor In 2022. At Haut Hair, AllahPundit wishes her luck, Stacey Abrams: I'm running for reelection as governor of Georgia

I’m kidding. She didn’t say she was running for “reelection.”

I mean, I’m sure she’s thinking it. Her years of whining about having supposedly been cheated out of her rightful victory in 2018 all point to that. And she wields enough leverage in the Democratic Party that politicians more prominent than her have pushed the lie that she won the election three years ago on her behalf.

It's funny how it's OK for Democrats to allege election fraud.

At the Center Square,  Wisconsin Elections Commission to face allegations of potentially illegal behavior, "Commissioners are scheduled Wednesday to provide an official response to an audit that cited them for 30 problems in the 2020 election."

The audit found 30 areas where WEC needs to improve and found another 18 areas where Wisconsin lawmakers may need to step in and either enforce the law or clarify the state's election laws.

"How do you reclaim the fact that we are now a year past an election and we're still finding out more and more things that weren't done statutorily to provide a clear and transparent election," Brandtjen asked.

At the American Mind, Mark Hemingway discusses Democrats plans for Fortifying Tomorrow’s Elections, while Politico reports Anger sets in among Dems as voting rights push stalls "The party told its base voting rights was a top priority and ballot access was under attack. Then it ran into the realities of a 50-50 Senate." You can't always get what you waaant. The Wa Free Bee reports Taxpayers Paid Big Money for Dem Attempt to Overturn Election Results, "Failed effort to unseat Republican cost taxpayers more than $800,000" in the Iowa election won by Republican congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks. 

House Democrats took advantage of a provision they tucked into this year's rules package to use government money to challenge the results of the Iowa election in the Committee on House Administration. The Democrats on the committee paid high-priced law firm Jenner & Block a total of $699,294 to lead their attempt to overturn the election results, which had already been officially certified by Iowa's secretary of state after a recount. Republicans on the committee retained law firm Jones Day to respond to the challenge, paying it a substantially smaller sum of $126,942, according to committee records requested by the Washington Free Beacon.

And not even a particularly successful small-city mayor at that. But you have to vote for him because he's gay, and they haven't had their turn as Preznit yet. John Sexton at Haut Hair reports  Rep. DeFazio is the 19th Democrat not running for reelection next year, getting out ahead of the torches and pitchforks.
