Brian Kemp in 2018, has never conceded and has maintained that the election was conducted unfairly. She started a voter registration group called The New Georgia Project, which is one of three such organizations the George secretary of state is investigating\u00a0amid suspicions they were \u201cseeking to \u2018aggressively\u2019 register \u2018ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters\u2019 before the state\u2019s Jan. 5 Senate runoff election,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/voter-group-founded-by-stacey-abrams-under-investigation-seeking-out-of-state-dead\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A group called &#8220;Stop Stacey&#8221; emerged Monday to oppose a Abrams&#8217; rumored intention to run for Georgia governor again in 2022 and expose what they describe as her\u00a0&#8220;shady voter groups that undermine election integrity,&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/536727-gop-group-stop-stacey-targets-abrams-ahead-of-expected-2022-run\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will do whatever it takes to expose\u00a0Stacey\u00a0Abrams\u2019 radical network, highlight her dangerous agenda, and ultimately defeat her\u00a0\u2014 and her left-wing candidates\u00a0\u2014 at the ballot box,&#8221; said Jeremy Brand, the group&#8217;s senior strategist. &#8220;There is no time to waste: We must stand up, fight back, and Stop\u00a0Stacey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joining Abrams as this year&#8217;s nominees are former President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and Greta Thunberg.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Lives Matter movement was also nominated, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/black-lives-matter-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n<p>In his nomination statement, Norwegian Member of Parliament Petter Eide writes, \u201cI find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality. Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice. They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have been able to mobilize people from all groups of society, not just African-Americans, not just oppressed people, it has been a broad movement, in a way which has been different from their predecessors,\u201d Eide adds.<\/p>\n<p>Eide asserts: \u201cStudies have shown that most of the demonstrations organized by Black Lives Matter have been peaceful. Of course there have been incidents, but most of them have been caused by the activities of either the police or counter-protestors \u2026 There is actually a tradition for doing this. It\u2019s a strong linkage between antiracism movements and peace, and a recognition that without this kind of justice, there will be no peace and stability in the society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nomination statement concludes, \u201cAwarding the peace prize to Black Lives Matter, as the strongest global force against racial injustice, will send a powerful message that peace is founded on equality, solidarity and human rights, and that all countries must respect those basic principles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/whitmer-mocks-christians-with-stacey-abrams-prayer-candle-offensive-as-hell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Whitmer Mocks Christians With Stacey Abrams Prayer Candle: \u2018Offensive As Hell\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
