Stacey Abrams Campaigns for Oscar by Accusing Republicans of Voter SuppressionDavid Ng 8 Mar 2021
Stacey Abrams (D) has shifted her Academy Awards campaign into attack mode, accusing Republicans and former president Donald Trump of voter suppression as she seeks an Oscar nomination for her Amazon Studios documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy.
In an Oscar-themed interview with Deadline, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate claimed Republicans use voter suppression as a tool to win elections in an increasingly diverse country.
“The through line of voter suppression is an attempt to keep those who will disagree with the existing power structure from having influence on creating a new power structure,†she said.
“And in present-day parlance, it is to maintain a Republican Party that is increasingly distanced from a demographically diverse nation. Donald Trump is the most perfect example of it in recent memory because he did his voter suppression out loud and every day. He was very clear about who he didn’t want to include…He said in early 2020 If certain communities get to vote, he couldn’t win.â€
All In: The Fight for Democracy follows Abrams during her ultimately unsuccessful run for the Georgia governorship, while also delving into her activist efforts around voter suppression. The movie, which Amazon released in September, made the shortlist for Oscar contention in the documentary feature category.
