Listen, no matter what side of the political divide you’re on, if you’re honest with yourself, you know some BS happened during the Georgia election. That’s why a failed gubernatorial candidate has, through her nonprofit Fair Fight Action, filed a lawsuit against the state alleging infringements of constitutional rights and violations of federal election law and asking the federal government to take jurisdiction over Georgia’s elections to prevent further abuses.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has moved to have the case dismissed, but Abrams is taking the fight beyond the courtroom. The Yale Law School alum has taken the issue directly to the people, and is launching a hashtag #FairElectionsNow and an advertisement that will play during the Super Bowl.
As Law.com notes, the spot is at least somewhat bipartisan, and makes what should be an uncontroversial commitment that “every vote will be counted”:
The 30-second ad features Abrams and Habersham County Commissioner Natalie Crawford, a Republican, both calling for election reform, a return to hand-marked paper ballots and a commitment that “every vote will be counted.”
The ad will run in Atlanta during the Super Bowl, but you can watch it now.
