(Alabama state politics is one of the most crooked states. They fix the system to favor republicans.)

(CNN)A federal judge ruled Thursday that a fundraising committee associated with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams' campaign cannot begin raising unlimited campaign contributions.

Abrams and One Georgia, the leadership committee she registered in March, filed a lawsuit earlier this year against Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr and other state officials arguing that a state law passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp last year afforded the incumbent an exclusive and unconstitutional fundraising advantage. Kemp, who defeated Abrams in the 2018 governor's race, is seeking a second term this fall.

The law lets the governor, the lieutenant governor, party nominees for those positions and the majority and minority caucuses in the state House and state Senate to form committees that can raise unlimited cash, including during legislative sessions.
