FULL TITLE: 'You're going to have a chance to do a do-over!' Stacey Abrams REFUSES to concede Georgia governor's race as she predicts absentee ballots will shrink Republican foe's lead enough to trigger December runoff
A defiant Stacey Abrams refused to concede the Georgia governor's race early Wednesday morning, telling her Demorcatic supporters that despite trailing by about 3 percentage points she expected to come back enough to trigger a December runoff.
'You're going to have a chance to do a do-over,' she said, talking to voters in a state where nearly 3.8 million people cast votes in a contest that held the potential for her to be the first black female chief exective of a U.S. state.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a Republican, led Abrams with 51 per cent of the vote to her 48 per cent. The state's election law calls for a runoff when no candidate wins an outright majority of votes.
If Kemp's lead were 40,000 votes narrower, he would be beneath that threshold.
'Votes remain to be counted,' Abrams said. 'There are voices waiting to be heard. Across our state folks are opening up the dreams of voters in absentee ballots, and we believe our chance for a stronger georgia is just within reach.'
Tens of thousands of absentee votes were mailed to Georgia election officials.
'I promise you tonight we're going to make sure that every vote is counted. Every single vote! Every vote's getting counted!' she said.

Absentee — lots of military voters there in GA, usually breaking (R). She’s done.
Lol
The danger of electronic voting is maybe some day they’ll find lost digits
Same in Florida...way too close for comfort.
I really had trouble believing that either Georgia or Florida would elect uber-progressives. But, yeah, too close for comfort.

Welcome to the party. Minnesota went nuts long ago. My wife will retire soon and then we will move to the American part of the state.
It's a matter of optics.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Shocking. And the Florida races too.
It's amazing what can happen when you have a trillion dollars worth of of cable networks, newspapers, communists, broadcasters, academia, gibs-me-dats, parasites, illegals, and fellow travelers pulling for you.
And Fox News is dead to me. This time they were out in the open with their true sentiments. I'd like to see Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham jump to OAN en masse.
And Fifty Shades of Grey.
No. The rest of the state is conservative.
Taking her cue from another devoted commie I guess?
But we already knew little Stacey was a danger to democracy, didn't we?
She is waiting for those cemetary votes to come in.
seems thats what happened in the Atlanta mayor race..
wouldn’t surprise me if it was tried again
She sounds like a tyrant wannabe in the Hillary mode.
She needs to move to Minnesota convert to Muslim and run. She might win if she learns to speak Somali.
CONCEDE Walpurgis!
My two ‘biggest wrong turns’ are giving women the right to vote and establishing the Federal Reserve...I wonder how these midterms would look with the female vote removed...does such a program exist?
She needs a chance for a do-over of that uglee mug of hers!
Typical LIB/DIM bad loser...and I do mean LOSER.
Shut up Stacey u ignorant slut.
Don’t go away mad. Just go away forever.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s a massive case of “Obama Syndrome.” Wouldn’t it be SO COOL to elect a black female as governor! And besides, see, we’re not a bunch of barefoot, toothless, overalls and pickup truck rednecks! We’re cool, we’re trendy, we’re hip, and a little touch of socialism is just the latest thing!
Besides, socialism will “straighten out” all those folks we disagree with, while leaving us untouched, right?
well I am stunned! /s
