A week out from Georgia’s midterm Election Day, the non-profit voting watchdog group Fair Fight Action is responding to a recent federal court ruling that challenged certain voting practices in the state. The group was founded by Democrat Stacey Abrams.

In Fair Fight Action, Inc. v. Raffensperger, the judge upheld Georgia election laws on all counts in the case, which was filed right after the 2018 election.

Gov. Brian Kemp responded by accusing Abrams of using the lawsuit to “line her pockets, sow distrust and build her own celebrity.”
