GA GOV: Surprise Ballots? Democrats Say They Found New Ballots That Could Torpedo Republicans

Georgia’s gubernatorial race is another contentious battle. Republican Brain Kemp has a two-point lead, but Democrat Stacey Abrams refuses to concede. She bizarrely talks of a “do-over” when it comes to this race (via The Hill):

Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams offered no signs she plans to concede in the Georgia gubernatorial race during a speech in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

"I want to say this: if I wasn’t your first choice or if you made no choice at all, you’re gonna have a chance to do a do-over," Abrams said during the speech to supporters, alluding to a potential recount.

"Votes remain to be counted, there are voices that remain to be heard," she said. "We believe our chance for a stronger Georgia is within reach."

Abrams's remarks came shortly after her campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo said her campaign believes there are outstanding votes in Democratic areas as well as provisional and absentee ballots that could lead to her victory, Talking Points memo reported.

Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) led Abrams 51 to 48 percent with 97 percent of precincts reporting when Abrams made her speech.

Abrams seems to be hoping for either a runoff or recount. Under Georgia law, if a candidate fails to clinch over 50 percent, it triggers a runoff that will be held on December 4. Obviously, they want the latter. It’s now about those provisional ballots (via NBC News):

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams' campaign disputed on Saturday her opponent Brian Kemp's claims that there are not enough outstanding provisional ballots for Georgia's governors seat to trigger a recount or runoff election.

Abram's campaign said their findings show a total of 26,846 provisional ballots are uncounted as of Saturday morning. Meanwhile, Kemp's campaign said 21,190 provisional ballots are still outstanding.

[…]

If Abrams is able to gain slightly more than 23,700 votes on Kemp, the race is pushed into a mandatory recount. If she can gain about 25,600, it is forced into a runoff. The Democrat is hoping that once all the votes are accounted for, her opponent's vote share drops below the critical 50 percent threshold, which would trigger a runoff election on Dec. 4.

[…]

Kemp said Thursday that even if Abrams received "100 percent" of the remaining provisional ballots, he would still come out on top.

Abrams' campaign lawyers filed a lawsuit Thursday over absentee ballots in the state's Dougherty County.

Groh-Wargo said Kemp owes the people of Georgia "an explanation" for why accurate and complete information was not being provided. "We need to see lists, we need to see names, we need to see counts of every vote," she said, later adding that the campaign would not stop pressing forward "until we are confident that every vote has been counted."

U.S. District Judge W. Louis Sands said that the county must accept all absentee ballots received by Friday and will not certify the results of the election until Tuesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

And now we have surprise ballots that Democrats say put them within reach of sinking Kemp (via Washington Examiner):

The Democratic Party of Georgia tweeted Saturday evening that a "handful" of Georgia counties reported thousands of "new" absentee, early, and Election Day votes not accounted for by Republican candidate Brian Kemp.

[…]

The latest vote tally on the Georgia secretary of state's website shows Kemp leading by more than a percentage point. Kemp had 1,975,806 votes to Abrams' 1,916,931 -- a margin of 58,875 votes -- leading 50.28 percent to Abrams' 48.78 percent. The Libertarian candidate, Ted Metz, had a mere 37,149 votes and 0.95 percent of the vote.

Yeah, I’ll let you debate among yourselves about all of these “new” ballots keep popping up.

[ZULU]

STOP THIS CHARADE FOR GOD’S SAKE.

THEY ARE BOGUS.

[neverevergiveup]

We should start printing ballots. Millions of them.

[originalbuckeye]

I think it is because the Dems scream and the Republicans cower.....that’s the only thing I can figure.

[StolarStorm]

Yep, when ballots have no meaning bullets do.

[StolarStorm]

If Texas falls, it’s over.

“I want to say this: if I wasn’t your first choice or if you made no choice at all, you’re gonna have a chance to do a do-over,”

Hey, I played Dodge-Ball on the playground.

NOBODY ever heard of “Do-Over”!

[Electric Graffiti]

The fact that this lunatic leftist b!tch is close enough to steal a governor’s race in GEORGIA, is an indication of just how FUBARed America truly is.

[TBP]

Don’t they always?

[ArcadeQuarters]

It*s a November miracle! The vote fairies have found more ballots!

[Electric Graffiti]

“If Texas falls, it’s over.”

We have so many illegal aliens in the country I wouldn’t be surprised if Texas is blue in 2 years. That’s how bad it is...

THE PLAN---Use the accurately-counted, professionally-handled ballots to declare the winner.
BUT publicly throw out ALL ballots "found" after Nov 6th.

<><>ALL voters have now been “disenfranchised”
they should ALL file lawsuits against elections officials......

<><> name as defendants the specific parties responsible for (a) ballot irregularities, (b) any Provisional Ballots box
a teacher miraculously “found”, and, (C) any ballots the losing candidate says have been "found".

<><> Last but not least, the State should appoint a State-level bureaucrat to proceed with declaring Kemp the winner.

FREEPER LAXCOACH---I showed up to vote in Atlanta, but was told I already voted absentee. They had me sign an affidavit in order to vote. But no one would tell me what would happen with my absentee vote. At the Secy of State's office, they told me I early-voted on Nov 2. But the computer on polling day clearly marked me as absentee. When pressed, the SOS clerk said "it must have been a clerical error. Someone marked my name by mistake in early voting." I tried to get an answer why I was marked absentee, and they refused to answer.

This is an active crime scene-----put up the yellow tape.

<><> seize all ballots

<><> seize all of the evidence.

<><> interrogate and investigate those that falsified ballots.

<><> if they won’t cooperate, charge them.

<><> this is organized crime---start the RICO charges.

<><> voters' free speech is under attack.

Georgia officials' election practices may have violated state and federal laws.
Voters MUST demand the following agencies commence investigations at once:
<><> FBI — Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ’s Criminal Division— Public Integrity Section
<><> DOJ Criminal Division—Organized Crime and Gang Section.

That is so true. A scary thought.

[hsmomx3]

Wow!!

It’s so obvious in all these states.

Looking at my state, AZ, Sinema just keeps gaining while McSally’s count stays darn near the same over the last 24 hours.

Abrams is dog-whistling implied racism. She claims-----
voters experienced difficulties casting ballots,
were turned away from the polls,
students and military members' absentee ballots never arrived or were “lost in the mail” -
and first-time and longtime voters found their names were “no longer on the list”.....

It is still mathematically impossible for her to whittle down Kemp's commanding lead to trigger a runoff.

One can only imagine the massive voting fraud she's got planned.....if she was able to run the race again.

No they are not a state issue alone as they have to follow Federal guidelines for Voter registration and validation of correct votes. If they choose to void the sanctity of the vote as far as State offices then they may be in the clear, but when you elect a Federal official like Senate or Congress then you are under a different set of rules and a whole different game is underway. In federal elections Voters MUST BE American Citizens for their vote to count, not what the state allows but what the Constitution does

[cableguymn]

exactly..

The lady that did this (snipes?) has a history of doing this.. But she still has her job..

when you get away with something, you tend to be emboldened and will do more in the future.

[cableguymn]

yup.. unless something changes it’s over.. the rock is just starting to roll down the hill..

all it’s gonna do at this point is pick up speed till it hits something.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Thank you for posting that bit of info.
