ATLANTA — For the first time in her campaign for Georgia’s top office, Stacey Abrams launched a TV ad targeting Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s support for an election overhaul that she’s framed as one of the most restrictive in the nation.
The 30-second spot coincides with a broader effort by Abrams to more assertively emphasize voting rights issues that dominated the 2018 midterm, when she emerged as a national advocate for ballot access while Kemp served as the state’s top election official.
The Democrat’s campaign on Wednesday will feature an event in Brooks County with members of “Quitman 10+2.” That’s the name of the group of Black activists in South Georgia who faced charges related to voter fraud after organizing an effort to flip control of the school board.
