Judge Who Is Stacey Abrams’ Sister Blocks Challenges to Voter Eligibility in Two Counties Ahead of Senate Runoff

[Admin Melony B. DeFord]

Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, a federal judge in Georgia and sister of failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, effectively blocked challenges to voter eligibility in two Georgia counties ahead of the January 5 Senate runoff.

Gardner on Monday ruled in favor of Majority Forward, the nonprofit organization of former Clinton campaign attorney Marc Elias, who remains at the helm of many of the voting challenges seeded throughout the U.S. He contended that Republicans tried to “disenfranchise” thousands of voters, particularly 4,000 in two Georgia counties — Muscogee County and Ben Hill County — based on groundless “change-of-address” data.

A voter named Ralph Russell brought forth the challenge in mid-December, alleging that he “had compared evidence from publicly accessible voter registration databases to prove that these voters had moved out of Georgia,” per Politico.

Russell reportedly told the board that he believed that the individuals “as a result of registering their name and change of address to a location outside of Muscogee County, removed to another state with the intention of making the new state their residence.”

“Thus, each individual has lost their residence in Muscogee County, and consequently, each individual is ineligible to vote in Muscogee County,” he argued, winning support from the board. The board’s decision would require those on the list to instead cast a provisional ballot as well as show “additional evidence of residency to vote.”

The Ben Hill County board supported a similar challenge from Fitzgerald city council member Tommy Roberts. The challenges are part of True the Vote’s greater effort to expose voter fraud across the U.S., particularly on behalf of Georgia voters as the runoffs quickly approach. Breitbart News detailed:

True the Vote has submitted 364,541 written Elector Challenges on behalf of voters in Georgia, representing all 159 counties.

News of the challenge came in a press release in which the organization defined the challenge as a “unique feature in Georgia law,” identified as GA. CODE ANN. § 21-2-230.

According to True the Vote, the law “allows a voter to challenge the eligibility of any other voters in his or her county if probable cause exists to show that the challenged voter does not meet the qualifications legally required to cast a ballot.” In addition, it “represents one of the few vehicles that states have to update voter rolls ahead of an election without compromising any legitimate voters’ right to have their vote counted.”

“Ongoing debates about the November election throughout the country have Americans focused intently on improving the integrity of our elections and restoring the faith of voters,” True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht said in a statement.

“Today we assisted concerned Georgia voters in taking a stand for the sanctity of every legal vote,” she added.

[Hilary Joseph Hogan]

She should be recused from the case. No way in hell that they can team up and make bad decisions. I hope she is debarred.

[Janet E Christian]

She is a pig (and I hate to slander pigs) just like her stinking sister

[Jeff Noncent]

it's time for Christians to stand for the truth because the Democrats and the Republicans will never tell you the truth.

[Pete F]

The trash sisters need to be in jail

[Brr]

Both of these fat how now brown cows belong in jail! 

[Edie Faylor]

How is this legal?  Should she not disqualify herself from this?  Each day it gets worse and worse!  Are we in the twilight zone or the Matrix?

[Bob Russell]

WE ARE IN THE MARXIST ZONE, NOW THE PREDOMINANT STATUS OF THE U S A!!!!!!

[Ronald A. Nelson COL, USA, Retired]

How is this legal?  Should she not disqualify herself from this?... it is likely unethical and may be illegal.  Yes, she should have recused herself but she didn't and that cross an ethics line that should result in her disbarment and removal as a judge... except, she is Black and is counting on that to give her immunity from the normal conduct expected of Judges.

[Bob Russell]

at the very least it is unethical, at the most likely TREASONOUS!!!!!
