Stacey Abrams: U.S. Constitution ‘Began the Practice of Voter Suppression’
[BREITBART] Failed Georgia Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams
...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...
is now blaming the Constitution for what she claimed was the beginning of "the practice of voter suppression" in the United States as the left-winger continues to push for vote-by-mail options in elections nationwide.

"Voter suppression was baked into the notion of America," Abrams recently told Vanity Fair. "It was embedded not in our Declaration, which was a glorious document, but the Constitution began the practice of voter suppression." She added:

We are reaffirming the experiment now, but we are also seeing some terrible examples of the original flaw in our design, which is that we have delegated to the states the ability to determine not eligibility, but access. Luckily, we have 34 states that already have some version of vote-by-mail with no excuses. We have 16 states that do it to a lesser degree.

Abrams’ assertion comes after she claimed that "voter fraud is not real" and "does not affect the outcome of elections" in the wake of President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s repeated criticism of voting via mail. Abrams stated:

We know that, but we cannot allow them to frame voter fraud and treat it as an equivalence to voter suppression. Voter suppression denies the right to vote to millions. Voter fraud over 20 years, at best, occurred 1,300 times. Millions every year versus thousands over twenty years. There is no comparison.

Delegitimization of elections happens when the numbers are close and one of the ways that those who engage in voter suppression can claim victory, either in reality or putatively, is that they can shave the margins like anyone who tries to steal.

"We’re not going to destroy this country by allowing things like that to happen. We’re not destroying our country," the president has said. "This has more to do with fairness and honesty and, really, our country itself."

#2 I've two theories about African - American politicians.
(1) They are all secret agents for KKK.
(2) The other theory is racist.

#3 Seed spitting snarks are racist, but if she would consider learning to whistle Dixie through '8 & 9' I might think about voting for her.

#4 ah she's going to be the perennial candidate of the South, quickly figuring out, a la Bernie, that's there's way more money to grift being a candidate rather than winning the office.

#7 The Constitution began as a contract among states for a national government. It was ratified by the states not the people. The 'Bill of Rights' was tacked on afterwards. At the start the people who had skin in the game (those obligated for militia duty - aka give the last full measure of devotion) had the votes. Ever since then, those with no skin in the game have been suppressing the rights of those who do have skin in the game.
