Harris and Stacey Abrams talk about voter suppression
Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams joined Harris at her campaign event at Gwinnett County, Georgia, Sunday and warned the crowd about the potential for voter suppression.
In the highly contested 2018 governor's race, Abrams lost by less than 55,000 votes to Republican Brian Kemp, who was still working as Georgia's secretary of state. The election was stained by lawsuits and allegations of voter suppression.
Abrams said voter suppression in the state is "alive and well."
"We know that just because good is on the move doesn’t mean that bad has stopped working," she said.
Abrams told the crowd not to panic and to stay in line on Election Day in the face of possible voter intimidation.
“We're not going to panic when we see militias. We're not going to panic when people tell us that we're not going to win. We are going to work to make sure that victory is ours. Don't panic," she said.
Harris praised Abrams' work in the state to expanding voting rights.
"I'm so thankful to her for the work that she has been doing for years to fight for Georgian and the right to vote," she said.
