Why did Abrams refuse to concede immediately in the 2018 gubernatorial election?

  • Recount requested

  • Voter suppression claims

  • Ballot errors

  • Personal reasons

Answer

Abrams refused to immediately concede the 2018 gubernatorial election due to concerns over potential voter suppression, particularly among African American voters. Georgia's history of voting irregularities, combined with the close margin of the race, led Abrams to believe that further scrutiny was necessary to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
