What a BS false equivalence.
#StopTheSteal is horsesh--t because there's absolutely zero evidence that the election was stolen or otherwise illegitimate. Despite countless, utterly pointless, audits and lawsuits and investigations and so on. There was never any evidence. There was never anything shady. There was never any reason to believe the election was stolen. Trump just made it up and a bunch of idiots believed it.
In the case of the 2018 gubernatorial election there's plenty of evidence, and the state has been successfully sued over the voter suppression tactics that cost Abrams the governorship. Hundreds of thousands of people were simply eliminated from the set of registered voters by Kemp, who I will remind you, ran his own election. He also systematically closed down hundreds of polling places in Abrams-heavy areas. One of the counties was ruled to have violated the Civil Rights Act.
To be clear, Stacey Abrams isn't alleging that the election was "stolen" -- that the ballots were fraudulently counted or reported. She's simply alleging that Kemp strategically utilized the office of secretary of state to prevent tens of thousands of her voters from being able to vote. Which he undoubtedly did.
