Former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is making her rounds around the nation to spread the message of election integrity, but along the way, she has continued the narrative that she didnt lose the governors race in Georgia last year.
The Houston Chronicle reports:

Abrams was in Texas on Friday for a fundraiser hosted by Annies List, a group that supports progressive women seeking public office.

(767 posts)The rural areas are RED and the urban areas are BLUE. My district stretches from rural to urban and to me the district looks gerrymandered. By stretching my district into the urban area it dilutes the RED vote. The district still elects GOP until more BLUES move into this district. California remains democratic because 66% are blue and 33% are red.
