given the focus of Abrams’ campaign—voting rights and Medicaid expansion—it is unclear what “identity politics” means in this formulation other than “campaigning while black”https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1116395654903943171 …
A textbook definition of "identity politics" would be, say, "I want this politician to succeed because he is the same race as me and not because of him personally." A person who would say that is engaged in identity politics.

So an identity politics voter would vote for a black woman regardless of her policies?

Here the thing about your definition, there is no candidate who campaigns on this basis at all (even Abrams) so you fall flat there.
