Oprah stumps for Abrams in Georgia: We have power that 'cannot be suppressed'
Oprah Winfrey on Thursday stumped for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D), telling the cheering crowd that their votes will not be "denied" amid allegations of voter suppression in the state led by Republicans.
"Every single one of us has something that, if done in numbers too big to tamper with, cannot be suppressed and cannot be denied," Oprah said in the midst of an impassioned call to vote during the midterm elections.
"The one place where we’re all equal — where is it?" the legendary former talk show host asked. "It’s at the polls."
Abrams and her allies have accused her Republican opponent, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, of suppressing the votes of minorities in the state, citing a report that 53,000 voter registration applications are on hold in Georgia. Seventy percent of the stalled applications are reportedly from black voters.
