Kemp Says Updated Vote Totals Affirm His Victory as Abrams Files Lawsuit

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp said Nov. 12 that updated vote totals affirmed his victory as his opponent, Stacey Abrams, filed a lawsuit to stop counties from throwing out some rejected provisional and absentee ballots.

As of Nov. 12, the reported vote totals showed Kemp ahead by nearly 58,875 votes, with 50.2 percent of the vote, compared with Abrams’s 48.7 percent.

While Abrams has contended that the final vote count could see Kemp fall under 50 percent, which would trigger a runoff, Kemp said that won’t happen. According to a statement from Kemp’s campaign, no more than 13,360 ballots remain based on official figures. The campaign note that even if every vote went to Abrams, Kemp would still have 50.1 percent, avoiding the threshold needed for a recount or a runoff election.

“Stacey Abrams lost and her concession is long overdue,” Ryan Mahoney, communications director for Kemp’s campaign, said in a statement.

“It’s incredibly shameful that liberal lawyers are doubling down on lawsuits, desperately trying to create more votes for Stacey Abrams. They don’t want to win this election. They are trying to steal it.”

Abrams’s campaign is contacting every voter in Georgia asking if they experienced issues casting a vote. The campaign is also soliciting donations and asking for free help from lawyers, according to Abrams’ Twitter account.

He should be looking forward to slapping her around. Obama threw cheap hots without being vulgar and low-life-like.

Seems like, if that is true, that would be perfect grounds for recusal.

But,but,but,but I have this laminated Black Privilege Members Only card with no expiration date, with Obama’s signature on it.
They told me I could open any door with that thing. They told I could never ever lose.

Why would a Democrat ever have to recuse itself? That’s for Republicans.

Sure, for an honorable person, who wishes to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, as the saying goes. But, we are talking about Democrats here.

She’s not doing herself or Democrats any favors by behaving like this. The numbers indicate she should have gracefully conceded.

She’s not in denial about winning. she knows that she lost. She wants to create the perception that R’s stole the election and will do so “again” in the Dec. 4 runoff, 2020, and beyond.
