Georgia's new governor: 'Ridiculous' for Stacey Abrams to say the election wasn't fair
Georgia's governor-elect Brian Kemp on Tuesday rejected claims that he used his authority as secretary of state to defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams.
Abrams, who would have been the nation's first black woman governor, said Monday night that Kemp used his position to ensure a win.
When asked on CNN if she thought she lost fair and square, she said, "No, I do not," and said no one will ever know the fair result.
"We do know that for eight years, he systematically dismantled the machinery of democracy, he disenfranchised voters, he disinvested from counties, and he was grossly incompetent in the administration of his office," Abrams said.
On Fox News Tuesday morning, Kemp said a record number of people voted, and said the state has laws in place to ensure proper voter registration.
"It's unfair for her to blame especially local elections officials that are following the law when it comes to these things, for registration, how things are conducted on election day," he said.
