At the 64th annual NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Detroit, on Sunday Sen. Kamala Harris presidential hopeful said without specific evidence that if not for voter suppression, Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum would have won the 2018 elections for governor in Georgia and Florida.

Harris said, “Let’s say this loud and clear: without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia, Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida. So the truth is, we need a new voting rights act.”

“I cannot say that everybody who tried to cast a ballot would’ve voted for me,” Abrams told The New York Times Magazine in April. “But if you look at the totality of the information, it is sufficient to demonstrate that so many people were disenfranchised and disengaged by the very act of the person who won the election that I feel comfortable now saying, ‘I won.’”
