I am very bullish on the likelihood that the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will pass because we know that in lieu of their passage, what we saw happen across the states this year is going to be redoubled starting in January.
Stacey Abrams expresses optimism about the passage of voting rights legislation and warns of potential voter suppression if it does not pass.

You cannot believe that it is OK to steal the ability of women to have bodily autonomy and say that you believe in human civil rights.
What the Supreme Court did, and what the 11th circuit suborned today was essentially saying that women in Georgia are now second-class citizens.
We know that the right to choose should not be divvied up among states. And that the sinister practice of taking constitutional rights and allowing each state to decide the quality of your citizenship is wrong. Women deserve bodily autonomy. They deserve the right to make these choices. And in Georgia in particular in a matter of days this six-week ban will be the law of the land. That is horrendous. That is appalling. And it is wrong, and as the next governor I`m going to do everything in my power to reverse it.
One of the pieces of my approach to politics that is that seems to confound people is that I treat all voters as persuasion voters.
