Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s Democratic Electoral Ninja | News Univision Politica

It is not surprising that the capitol at the Capitol eclipses the other political highlights of the week, including the dramatic victory of the Democrats in the second round of the Senate elections in Georgia.

Pero, a largo plazo, la importancia de los resultados and Georgia son of mayor: Democrats will resume control of congressional chambers for the first time since 2010.

Second to this electoral history is the emergence of one of the emerging political stars of the country. If it was not one of the victorious candidates, the number of Stacey Abrams would also have been in the ballot paper by the municipal paper that started to secure the victory. And the experts say the most likely is to present himself as the Democratic candidate for governor in 2022.

If so, Abrams will be the first black governor in the history of the United States.

In social networks, the status of a cult case is disrupted. Described by a fanatic as ‘la ninja’ of estadounidense politics, the black actor who won an Oscar, Morgan Freeman wrote the short story after the elections that were held “without words … to my credit” to Abrams.

President Barack Obama praised his “visionary and resilient leadership”.

Abrams has spent the last 10 years building the party’s political infrastructure and voter registration and participation strategies in the state. The so-called ‘Abrams Tactical Manual’ is centered on a person-centered approach to the community that many now have as a model to motivate electoral participation in other states with large minority populations.

In particular, it has helped to build a multiracial and multiethnic coalition of grassroots organizations, as well as to hold elections in order to justify the participation of marginalized communities that normally do not own their right to vote in large numbers.

“She has been a great mentor, ally and friend to many years ago during the years he had a difficult job to empathize with the Latin community”, dijo Jerry González, Founder and Executive Director of the Association of Latin Latinos Electos of Georgia (GALEO for his English Sigls).

Despite all the compliments, his friends say that Abrams, 46 years old, has been treated like a modest leader, who is respected and admired universally. Mujer soltera, has dedicated his life to the right to vote.

“He is an incredible person, the form in which he behaves. She’s never been lame, “said Gonzalez.

González recorded that he had a decade, when Abrams was busy contracting his legislative staff in the Georgia Chamber of Representatives, receiving a telephone call. “It is proposed to look for talented young Latvians”, dijo.

González recommends a Latvian young man, Genny Castillo, who converts to his main political assessor and works in another of Abrams’ political projects, the Southern Economic Advancement Project.

González says that the high level of coordination between the black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ groups is vital in recent elections. “This coordination of community leaders is really fundamental to being able to create an entourage where marginalized communities are empowered,” he said.

Abrams, a female politician, graduated from the Faculty of Law of Yale, not 11 years old as a state representative in Georgia and was converted into the leader of the opposition in Cámara in 2011. He is also the author of romantic novels with Selena’s seudonym Montgomery with attractive titles like ‘Hidden Sins’ (Escudid Pecados) y ‘The Art of Desire’ (El Arte del Deseo).

Mujer soltera, is dedicated to the right to vote. “Some people are destined to be assimilated. She has the job,” said Helen Butler, another veteran Georgia civic activist and director of The Peoples’ Agenda.

Abrams joined the national famine when he was ousted by a margin margin in the 2018 elections for the governor of Georgia, in the midst of successful gameplay by the Republicans. Abrams lost 50,000 photos of Brian Kemp’s Republicans, which were released as Georgia State Secretary and a cargo of elections.

In response, Abrams launched a register of voters without precedents, Fair fight, (Pelea Justa) responds to a donation of 5 million dollars from the multimillionaire exalcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg.

If so, there is no comparison with the huge donations made by the candidates, “can be some of the best 5 million dollars spent on this election”, dijo Miles Coleman of the Center for Politics of the University of Virginia.

His political memoirs, “This is our moment: the light on a just America,” published last year, are a manifesto in favor of the right to vote. In addition, it details the “herramaic box for effective voting rights”, the successful tricks that Republicans have used to decalcify the votes of the minorities.

For example, cite the “usel or piérdalo” policy of eliminating numbers from voter lists for inactivity, or the “exact coincidence” rule that eliminates debit votes due to spelling inconsistencies between its registration and identification cards state, as well as the limit on early voting and reduction of toll booths for voting and voting centers.

In the November elections, and again in the 5th of January, the grassroots groups will meet with large teams of volunteers who will help ‘curate’ miles of balls that would otherwise be eliminated.

In the post of apostles for the Senate, Abrams recruited a black pastor accused of politics, the rapporteur Raphael Warnock. The pastor ends by saying the mayor’s vote number on the second day of March, surpassing the title of Kelly Loeffler by more than 80,000 votes.

“Stacey Abrams is a brilliant strategist. Knows the numbers, is a great motivator, a great legal mind and a great person ”, dijo Butler.

The activists say that the victory of November 3 and March passed could not be attributed solely to Abrams, but that it was built on the basis of a decade of numerical organizations such as the New Georgia and ProGeorgia project, and the Latin group Migente, who is united in a common effort. “She (Abrams) accelerated the process, hizo that would lead to a faster return to normalcy,” said Butler.

These groups approve the changing demographics of Georgia, where they have seen the increase in black families translating into the cities and suburbs of other states, and a large influx of Latinos and Asians. Between 2000 and 2019, 48% of Georgia’s eligible voter turnout was attributed to the state’s black voters, following an analysis of the Pew Research Center’s census data.

The number of Latvian voters in Georgia has also tripled and the number of registered voters exceeded 10,000 to 250,000 in the last decade, said González.

In the two years since the presidential election in 2020, Abrams has been joining forces with grassroots groups to register miles of new voters in Georgia, mainly black, Hispanic and Asian communities.

The dramatic power effect. Georgia has registered 520,000 new voters since 2016, of the 130,000 citizens, the mayor proportion, his negroes, the Pew Investigation Center of state data of the state.

In addition, the number of Latino and white registered voters increased by approximately 95,000 each, compared to the fact that there are many lesser registered Latin and white voters (260,000 fronts to 3.8 million). The number of Asian voters registered also increased by 63,000, a sustained amount in relation to the total population of the group (188,000).

We are voting on a fundamental paper in the bid for the state of Biden, which leaves a margin of 0.24% (11,779 votes) over Donald Trump, first in the Democratic Party to win the state in more than two decades.

In the week before November 3 and January 5, the grassroots base groups will register 76,000 new voters, which will help increase the chances of Democrats. Warnock, and Jonathan Ossoff, the other Democrat in the second round of the Senate, ended up winning by 80,000 and 45,000 votes, respectively.

“What really led the Democrats to the final meta was the participation of the blacks,” said Coleman. In Clayton’s state, for example, 67% of blacks, Democrats are up 6%, compared to November. The shows show that Ossoff has also increased his sales among Latin voters.

Here’s a clear lesson to learn from the second episode, according to CNN’s political commentator Van Jones: “Trump lost his election and passed his memorable and lucrative months. Stacey Abrams lost his election and passed away building a more powerful move. Now, we know the best strategy ”, I wrote this week.

“This is not just a story about Trump’s final phrase. It’s a story of Stacey Abrams’ success and many of the inspiring lyricists, from the very beginning, are anonymous to those who have worked for years ”, added.
