The right to vote is the bedrock of a functioning democracy. As it stands, this right is not guaranteed to all Americans. Stacey Abrams has seen this up close as a politician and lawyer in Georgia, and as the Democratic nominee for the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election. In the season finale, Emily talks to Leader Abrams about how Fair Fight tackles voter suppression by focusing on litigation, legislation, and advocacy. Leader Abrams also weighs in on how the primary candidates have been talking about voting rights, and shares what might motivate her to accept a job offer from a presidential nominee.
