Carlisa N. Johnson: ‘It’s not about winning an election’: Stacey Abrams’ legacy in #Georgia
"Because of the state’s highly engaged voting rights coalition and clear voting rights infrastructure helmed by Abrams, voters and activists alike were equipped to navigate a system that placed new barriers on the path to casting a ballot."

I have asked #FairFight PAC—#StaceyAbrams's PAC—three times since March to stop sending me (paper) junk mail.
My requests haven't even been acknowledged, let alone honored.
When an org does this I know that some or all of the following are true:
1) They don't respect their supporters.
2) They mismanage their funds.
3) Their staff is incompetent.
4) They don't care about the environmental impact of their actions.
I will never support an org that does this.
You know who knows how to get &$%! done? ANYONE who votes in Georgia & esp. marginalized residents! To get an absentee ballot, for ex., unless you are really quite disabled or elderly or oversees military, you have to apply for each election w/in a cycle - so this year, THREE TIMES (primary, general, runoff). And you need access to an f'ing printer (or a friend with one)! #runoff #election #Warnock #fairfight
