Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams ended her hard-fought gubernatorial bid Friday against GOP opponent Brian Kemp, but she threatened to bring a lawsuit over Kemp's «gross mismanagement» of state voting laws in his capacity as secretary of state. The Hill writes: In an address made while surrounded by supporters Friday afternoon, Abrams said that she saw «no legal path forward» for her gubernatorial bid, adding that she would not use the legal system to attempt to «scheme» her way into office. Abrams said Kemp had «failed Georgia» and pledged to launch a new group called «Fair Fight Georgia» to promote fair elections in the state. According to the New York Times, she did not actually concede even as she declared an end to her campaign: “Let’s be clear: This is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper,” Ms. Abrams said amid a blistering attack on Mr. Kemp’s record as the state’s chief elections regulator and on the balloting process in Georgia. “As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that.” Check out video of Abrams below.
