Last week, according to Politico, she said, “There are only two things stopping us in 2020: That people have a reason to vote and that they have the right to vote,” she told a labor union in Las Vegas on Tuesday. “I’ve decided to leave it to a whole bunch of other people to make sure they have a reason to vote.”

Voter suppression was a major topic after her loss to then-Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, whom she derided on Tuesday as “the architect of voter suppression.”

Abrams unveiled her latest undertaking stemming from her voting rights group Fair Fight, which she began after her defeat. The group will train staffers in 20 competitive and battleground states to protect against voter suppression ahead of next year’s elections, and it will also focus on boosting response rates for next year’s all-important census survey.

“My mission is to make sure that no one has to go through in 2020 what we had to go through in 2018,” she told the crowd on Tuesday, referring to accusations that Kemp sought to suppress votes from minorities. “My job is to be the voice of those who don’t think they are heard,” she added.
