Judge who blocks voter purge in 2 Georgia counties ahead of Senate run-off is Stacey Abrams’ sister

Cleaning up voter rolls in America continues to be a difficult as trying to pull a tooth with a string, and almost as painful, thanks in large part to the Democratic Party and a few liberal judges — all of which may explain the party’s affinity for unsolicited mail-in ballots.
In Georgia, where a pair of run-off elections taking place in January carry with them the critical balance of the U.S. Senate, a federal judge ordered two counties to reverse a decision removing more than 4,000 voters from the rolls, according to Politico.
But we’re not talking just any judge. U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, an Obama appointee, is the sister of failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
Gardner issued the ruling Monday, after rejecting a request to remove herself from the case due to her relationship with her sister: “The Court has reviewed the motion and finds no basis for recusal.”
Abrams, who was reportedly on Biden’s shortlist for vice president, was celebrated by the BBC as the “woman behind Biden’s biggest surprise.”
Her grassroots organizing and voter registration efforts were cited as deciding factors in the outcome of the presidential election — following a now familiar script, Abrams denounced past efforts to maintain clean voters rolls as disenfranchisement.
The venerable New York Times ballyhooed about Abrams “building a well-funded network of organizations that highlighted voter suppression in the state and inspired an estimated 800,000 residents to register to vote.
Muscogee County is one of the counties affected by Monday’s ruling, and Politico reported the county board said in its recusal request Abrams is “a Georgia politician and voting rights activist … engaged in various highly publicized efforts to increase voter registration and turnout for the 2020 general election in Georgia.”
After Biden pulled ahead in Georgia, Abrams took to Twitter to crow, citing a number of left-wing voting rights advocacy groups.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:

But despite her deep involvement in voter registration efforts in the state, her sister the judge saw no reason to recuse herself from a case involving voter registration.So many deserve credit for 10yrs to new Georgia: @gwlauren @fairfightaction @nseufot @NewGAProject @AAAJ_Atlanta @GALEOorg @BlackVotersMtr Helen Butler @GeorgiaDemocrat @RebeccaDeHart DuBose Porter @DPGChair. Always John Lewis. Charge any omissions to my head. My heart is full.

Incredible levels of coordinated interference right in our faces. They don’t even care if we see the laughable ties they all have to one another leveraging their positions.

LOL….and people wonder why many are still concerned about the validity of our elections & due process!?!

This would seem pretty black and white. If they moved, they shouldn’t be able to vote. If something like that can’t be judged fairly and is left to stand then we have even bigger problems. Judges themselves are acting completely lawless.
