In an interview with Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday," Abrams said voter suppression purportedly still exists in municipalities where it people may have "difficulty registering" or where voter rolls may be subject to dormancy purges. "In the state of Georgia, we adequately proved and more and more voters have experienced difficulties with doing so," Abrams said.

Los Angeles civil rights attorney and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell disagreed Monday on "America Reports," accusing the Democrat of using a "1965 playbook" in the form of a social construct that presumes minorities do not have the wherewithal or ability to visit the DMV and obtain a valid identification card. "I've never been denied an ID," said Terrell, holding up a California State identification card. "The Democrats take the position that every voting policy is systemically racist," he said. "Her lawsuit was denied by an Obama-appointed federal judge – she is lying.

But this is the problem with Democrats.They are never going to stop playing the race card." Terrell reiterated that it should be seen as insulting to Black Americans when Democrats claim they are unable to get an ID.
