GOP Adviser Slams Georgia's Brian Kemp For Cheating and Undermining Democracy To Win Governor Race
By Alexandra Hutzler On 11/17/18 at 3:52 PM

A top Republican adviser and political strategist slammed governor-elect Brian Kemp for cheating during Georgia’s gubernatorial race.

“This hack @BrianKempGA is the next ‘governor*’ of Georgia. But he cheated & undermined democracy every step of the way. @staceyabrams should be governor, but isn’t due to actions that can’t be tolerated. She has a bright future. We need a new, enforceable Voting Rights Act. Now!” John Weaver wrote on Twitter on Saturday morning.

Weaver was a strategist for former president George H.W. Bush and a presidential campaign adviser to the late John McCain. The Republican now works for Ohio Governor John Kasich, who is rumored to be considering a 2020 run against Donald Trump as a possible third-party candidate.

Kemp is the official winner of Georgia’s gubernatorial race after his Democratic opponent, Stacey Abrams, acknowledged on Friday that she did not have enough votes to eclipse his lead. The Republican candidate and former secretary of state was ahead of Abrams by nearly 59,000 votes.

But accusations of rampant voter suppression throughout the state of Georgia propelled distrust in election officials and caused the race to remain too close to call even 10 days after Election Day.
