Stacy Abrams deserves a Recount! [View all]

According to most recent counts, of approximately 4 million votes, Democratic Stacy Abrams is behind GOP Brian Kemp, with less than 70,000 votes.

Thing is, Kemp rigged the election in Georgia, blocking hundreds of thousands of voters.

There's a legal doctrine "in pari delicto" (2 wrongs don't make a right); and that most certainly means Kemp shouldn't be allowed to stave off any recount, after he purged hundreds of thousands of voters.

Unless you are silly enough to believe he purged people that would have voted for him!
