Stacey Abrams admitted to PBS’s Firing Line with Margaret Hoover with being okay with giving voting rights to non-citizens in local elections.
Abrams ran for Georgia’s governorship as the Democrats’ nominee in 2018 and is the Democrats’ former leader in Georgia’s House of Representatives.

MARGARET HOOVER: What is your view about some municipalities, like San Francisco, who have decided that it’s okay for some non-citizens to vote in local elections?
STACEY ABRAMS: I think there’s a difference between municipal and state and federal.
Part of municipality — I’m not arguing for it or against it, but I will say, having been deputy city attorney, there’s a very — the granularity of what cities decide is so specific, as to, I think, allow for people to be participants in the process without it somehow undermining our larger democratic ethic that says that you should be a citizen to be a part of the conversation.
MARGARET HOOVER: So, in some cases, you would be supportive of non-citizens voting?
STACEY ABRAMS: I wouldn’t be — I wouldn’t oppose it.
Abrams predicted demographic change would benefit the Democrat Party. Hoover did not ask Abrams to which demographic changes the latter was referring.
Abrams said: Georgia [is] changing fairly dramatically and very quickly. And I could see that there was a pathway for Democrats to surge and to start to reclaim more power in the state. I believe that we are a purple state. I like to say we’re blue and just a little confused. But the notion being that, as we continue to change demographically, our politics are gonna keep changing.
Abrams blamed “voter suppression” for her electoral defeat in Georgia’s governors’ race, describing the election as “stolen from Georgians.”
Abrams called for “mail-in voting” to become standard in national elections. Hoover did not ask about vulnerabilities to fraud in such a system.
“I think that voting by mail makes a great deal of sense,” said Abrams. “I would love to see mail-in — you know, vote by mail be a national standard.”
Do you think Abrams’ opinion might have been different if she had not lost to Brian Kemp in Georgia? Or Is this just another Democrat tactic to get illegals to help sway the vote for Democrats?

Dumbest shit I ever heard!! Is there some part of ILLEGAL these morons do not understand. What other country allows YOU to enter illegally and then get government aid then be able to participate in their elections? Answer: NONE!!! This stupidity has to stop.
Have two years to pass a new voter ID law no right ins only service personnel ! Use nuclear option to pass it clean up the fraud issues ! Use current drivers license add bar & DNA it has picture & finger prints already use tamper proof material ! Than use reader machine before you get s ballot. Think of all the money you could save & weed out the fraud.????
Why don’t we let the democrats vote 4 times each, instead of just 3 ?
Democrats are the most ” self-righteous ” gang of thieves in America.
Why not let the illegals use a different phony name at every poll ?, OH, I FORGOT, they are already
doing that.
Oh brother! I hope it’s not the illegals chanting how the hate America and are burning the flag!
Why not send absentee ballots to all people around the world. What a ding bat.
How unsurprising. Dems gotta get their votes from somewhere. Sad. They want to erase the Constitution
Thank God the good voters of GA chose not to elect this radical bent on destroying the republic!
Georgians voted and Brian Kemp won. I am sick and tired of hearing blacks who ran for different political positions always pulling the race card. Brian Kemp won because Georgians voted him in. We do not want a Democrat as Governor!!! Georgia remains red!!!
I don’t think that heavyweight lost Georgia, I think she ate it.
“illegals” are CRIMINALS & should be rounded up & sent back to their own country! people that give them jobs should be thrown in jail! these illegals should receive no “free money”, no “free housing”, no “free medical care”! stop all the FREEBEES & they’ll stop coming!
