ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams’ campaign is preparing an unprecedented legal challenge in the unresolved Georgia governor’s race that could leave the state’s Supreme Court deciding whether to force another round of voting. And some Democratic legal observers note Abrams would be dependent on statutes that set a high bar for the court to intervene. Since Election Day, Abrams campaign workers have transitioned from get-out-the-vote efforts to helping voters determine whether their ballots were counted and documenting reported problems. Abrams and voting rights activists have argued for months that Kemp mismanaged the elections system as secretary of state, with Abrams often calling Kemp “an architect of suppression.”Under Georgia law, Abrams could file a challenge against Kemp or his successor as the secretary of state. Once the judge rules, the loser has 10 days to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court.
