Скачать или смотреть Stacey Abrams addresses voting problems at hearing

(19 Feb 2019) Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is telling a congressional committee about voting problems in the state during the November 2018 election, saying an increase in turnout should not mask significant obstacles faced by voters.
Abrams testified Tuesday at a field hearing in Atlanta convened by the Committee on House Administration's subcommittee on elections.
No Republican lawmakers attended it.
Rep. Marcia Fudge, who chairs the House subcommittee, says Democrats are gathering evidence of voter irregularities and suppression.
Abrams cited numerous instances of voters running into problems for failing to have their signatures match when submitting absentee ballots, failing to have an "exact match" of their name across certain records, aggressive efforts to remove them from the voter rolls and delays in processing and receiving absentee ballots.
