Info on GA Gov. race

Last edited Wed Nov 7, 2018, 12:38 PM - Edit history (1)

For those who are not from here you need to know that there are an unprecedented number of absentee ballots
waiting to be counted. The Stacey Abrams campaign actually made an effort to get more people to vote absentee. When these ballots are counted in the next 2 days we may be heading for a runoff!

I fucking hate KKKemp. That bastard threw enough people off the voter roles so that he could steal the election.

I hope that the lawsuits and judges orders to allow absentee and provisional votes to be counted will be enough to give Abrams the win.

I'm reading a few articles that say it's very close but there are not enough absentee ballots to get Kemp below 50%. However, the articles appear to be getting the news from Kemp's office itself so not sure what to think.

All requests related to runoffis, recounts, etc., also have to go to Kemp's office so it appears that Abrams is looking at legal options.
