The Democrat running to be the governor of Georgia has accused her Republican counterpart of creating a “miasma of fear” to scare people out of voting for her. Stacey Abrams, who would be the first African American woman elected to a governorship if she defeats Brian Kemp next month, accused her opponent of creating a voter identification law – which has put tens of thousands of voter registration applications on hold – to try and scare people. “This is simply a redux of a failed system that is designed to both scare people out of voting and make it harder for those who are willing to push through, make it harder for them to vote,” Ms Abrams said on CNN.
