Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams didn’t lose the election, but had it “stolen from her” despite her losing by over 50,000 votes, according to the Georgia Democrat Party.
The claim came after satire news site The Onion penned a mocking column Tuesday poking fun at Abrams’ stubborn refusal to accept her defeat in the 2018 midterms with the headline, “Guilt-Ridden Stacey Abrams Wondering When She Should Tell Democrats That She Lost Her Election.”

Unamused, the Georgia Democrat Party replied: “Hey @TheOnion – think you actually mean “Had Her Election Stolen.”

It’s a remarkable statement, given even the far-left Washington Post had to admit that Abrams lost by over 50,000 votes, well outside the margin of error.
Naturally, the Twitter users were quick to point out the absurdity of it all.

…the Georgia Democratic Party knows they're arguing with The Onion, right?

Lolz…
She lost by more than 54,000 votes. That’s a gap far outside the margin of fraud or suppression.
If Kemp was a "vote suppressor," he’s the least successful vote suppressor alive…because turnout in Georgia was WAY higher then usual.
