I am no fan of Stacy Abrams, and will be voting for Kemp, but this ruling by a judge shows how the Georgia election laws passed last year had nothing to do with election "integrity", but were all about winning elections.
So one of the laws passed said that candidates could form "leadership committees" that could raise unlimited amounts of cash, but not until they were a major parties nominee. However, it had exemptions for certain officeholders. The effect of the law was to allow Kemp to raise the funds starting a few months ago, but Stacy can't raise until she becomes the Dem nominee next month.
How blatant is that, and a judge has put a stop to it, but not before Kemp took advantage and raised a ton of cash.
That is not election "integrity", it is the exact opposite.
I still will be voting for Kemp, but this BS is why folks are so jaded about our so called leaders.
