ATLANTA — Georgia’s hotly contested and potentially historic governor’s race may not be over yet, with Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp awaiting the final accounting of absentee and provisional ballots.

With reported votes approaching 3.8 million, Kemp was just shy of 51 percent, but Abrams and her campaign said there were enough ballots outstanding, particularly absentee and mail-in ballots in heavily Democratic metro Atlanta counties, to bring the Republican below the majority threshold required for victory.

“We believe our chance for a stronger Georgia is just within reach, but we cannot seize it until all voices are heard,” Abrams told excited supporters who remained at a downtown Atlanta hotel into the early hours of Wednesday. “I promise you tonight we’re going to make sure that every vote is counted,” Abrams added.

Democrat machine bound and determined to steal the race for super liberal Abrams. It was hard to find a half-way decent article about the election. All are pro Abrams who despise republicans. PBS is of course is liberal but it’s the best article I could find. Democrats want Kemp under 50%, which would automatically trigger a recount and democrats never lose recounts.

Not a recount. A runoff.

Under 50% trigger a runoff election in GA, not a re-count.

Who the hell they got filling them out? Workers at “The Lighthouse for the Blind”?

The dems have already been caught trying to hack the Georgia Election System, and Abrams is probably counting on that to pull it out for her.

LIES. All set up by the phony charge of “disenfranchising” they attacked Kemp with weeks ago. Those unregistered were 17 year olds and those with invalid SSNs. Then the Dems hacked Kemp’s office, baiting him into launching an investigation, which they now say is more “suppression.” Leftist radical handbook 101.

How many ballots are out? 3.914 million voted. 3.9 have been counted

That is correct. A taxpayer-funded recount can be called when the margin of difference is less than 1% of the total vote cast, and one has 50% or more.

“Trouble getting information out of Dekalb county.” My God, why inflict Democrat dirt on our nation.

Dekalb is the Democrat hot spot. Abrams will likely win the election outright by the time the finish manufacturing votes. arrrrghhhh I am spitting mad.

[Robert DeLong]

That's why they are trying to pressure Brian Kemp to step down from his position as Secretary of State. To make it easier for them to cheat. He won't do it, and the courts cannot force him out either. 8>)

So far he leads with more than 1% margin.
