What Stacey Abrams is really doing in Georgia.

Abrams said she wants people to "see the normalness" of activism and political engagement, and if they see that "normalness can be profound in how their lives get better, then they're going to be more willing to risk showing up and standing in that line and being rained on and being yelled at by some guy in a truck who's telling them to go home… 

"When you've never had to think about the hardship of voting, then yes, these conversations on voter suppression seem absurd to you. When you have never spent more than seven minutes in line, it is nearly impossible to imagine that there are poor Black people who stand in line for eight hours, miss an entire day's wages, risk losing their jobs simply to cast a ballot in an election that may or may not have any benefit in their lives."
