Summary of Stacey Abrams's Our Time Is Now

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On November 15, 2018, I learned that I had lost the election by a margin of 54,723 votes. My conversation with my campaign manager, Lauren Groh-Wargo, was perfunctory. We discussed the hard truth of the likely outcome and made preparations for the next day. #2 The campaign had sent volunteers and staff across Georgia to chase provisional ballots from voters who’d stood in line for hours, only to be told that they had insufficient ID. The numbers just didn’t add up to a 17,000-vote margin. #3 I understood the next decision to be made was whether or not to contest the election results based on the evidence we had gathered. I decided not to, instead focusing on the voting system itself, which could be changed. #4 Voter suppression is not a new phenomenon, and it isn’t entirely partisan. It has been used by both Democratic and Republican parties to win elections and keep voters from the other side.
