Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial Democratic candidate and star voting rights activist, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Reuters reports.
Abrams and her organization Fair Fight Action were integral in increasing Black voter turnout in Georgia this election cycle — a sprawling, years-long effort that culminated in the long-time red state turning blue.
Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party politician in Norway’s parliament, said Monday, the first day of Black History Month in the U.S. and the last day for someone to be nominated for the prize, that “Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights.”

It’s simple, ever since Arafat was nominated, the quality of a lot of the nominees has gone seriously down hill.
Once Hitler yms”h was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1939 it already lost all its credibility.
What’s there to explain. If you question this nomination you must be a racist – white supremist and a Trump supporter to boot.
Yup. As Lars Haltbrekken said, it’s all about the color of her skin. This whole Noble prize selection has become a laughing stock.
Whatever makes Jimmy feed his last bite of steak to the dog.
He should be happy to ask mom and dad sure his own. Milk of the moment. Gratuitous being.
Feel the Bern. Boop boop boo.
Explain why Matzav had no problem with rush limbaugh, jim jordan and david nunes receiving the medal of freedom? How about explaining all the corrupt pardons of Trump? She used non violent effort o stop the purging of voters and effect change. Look what is going on now with all the Republican control legislatures, they are back to trying to suppress the vote. Stacey abrams did all with out bribing people wit arm sales and financial investments to the king of Morocco owned entities.
What do her actions have to do with peace?
Noble peace prize is not solely about peace.

Champion of human rights and democracy, i see no problem. What she did mobilizing and protecting the right to vote for ALL.
So why can’t she win a simple election? Even the blacks in her district didn’t vote for her. She’s just a black version of Beto O’Rourke. A total loudmouth loser. If you can’t win an election, it says a lot what real people think about you.
