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.

The only way to save America without a war is to Red Pill White Women in the next two years. They have been completely captured by the Borg. Do I think they are idiots, yes I do. Will that win them over to logic, no it won’t. Something must be done to show them they are ALL going to be Central Park Joggers if they continue to follow their Oprah instincts.
Upscale Female voters just voted to raise their taxes $13,000 a year and completely destroy GA #1 state of business rating simply to be “hip”. I am so freaking angry at this rabid stupidity today.
People need to THINK rather then emote their votes.
Yeah and I think we might have an opening by pointing out how all the Dems they just elected lied relentlessly to them this year.
The Democrat candidate that recklessly lied to get elected yesterday all ran as a “new kind of Democrat, not one of those nasty DC Democrats”. Dems ran a bunch of young and energetic candidate with military/law enforcement backgrounds so Female voters, again, voted with their genitalia instead of their brains just like 2006 and 2008.
Now, as in 2006, the interesting thing is how due they KEEP the seat once they go to DC and vote as Nancy Peolose’s rubber stamp?
Kemp should make KFC have a free fried Stacy Abrams Chicken Day and give a free thick thigh to all chicken lovers.
I remember going to a KFC in Georgia about 10 years ago.
The choice of drinks??? Pepsi. Not diet Pepsi or any other option, just Pepsi. Ain’t never seen nuthin like it anywhere else.
That is very disheartening, that they came that close.
I understand Warren winning in MA. I understand Occasional-Cortex winning in New York.
I don’t understand how Florida and Texas were so tight...that is a problem.
Yep. maybe oprah will buy her a car as a consolation prize.
Why not? It has worked for the Democrats time and time again.
This is going to a great day for collecting outstanding quotes/posts from my fellow Freepers...
Will call racism if she loses.
Yes Steyer , Bloomberg and Soros all poured millions here.
But we fought back and won .
Poor Drudge .
His boy friend Gillum was stopped .
QU , NBC / Marist , St Pete Poll were bold faced lying .
The local Fl media was unreal .
Desantis won against all of this .
Agree....you summed it up. The gimme class is feeling its oats.
Agree on the out of bounds push polling. But still Desantis won. Scott too.
Is there any way st all that a recount can be used to expose fraud. With dems you can always be sure there is massive fraud.
Watch for a precinct captain to find a trunk load of ballots that weren’t counted ...
