Stacey Abrams (GA Governor's Race) is coming back.

The good news is that as each percentage of precincts reports, Stacey ticks up a bit.

As we went from 4% to 10% reporting Stacey increased from 30% to 35%. She just needs to improve 15% more to clinch it.

At 13%, she's at 36.7%. Its going to be a long night.

At 30%, Stacey Abrams Democrat 726,617 44.0

At 9:40 pm, the urban centers of Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah have not reported much yet. Polls are staying open.

1. Last I checked, Athens wasn't in yet either

That's a heavily Blue area (Univ. of Ga.). Some polling places in the African-American stronghold near Atlanta's AUC complex (Morehouse & Spelman colleges) are being kept open til 10 pm by court order.

And when the rest of Fulton and DeKalb counties come in, that should help Stacey as well. I'm not throwing in the towel yet!

Thanks for your post.

2. That is precisely how you have to watch close ones like Abrams or BETO.

Percentage by percentage as polls close and results come in.

Watching also for AZ & Sinema to win her race.

I don't know if there are enough votes out there, but I hope to be surprised when I wake up tomorrow morning. If not a win, I hope for a runnoff.

I'm sure these last 23% of precincts will go to Stacey, but are they enough? I dunno.

We need a Peach State Miracle!

I still can't believe kemp wouldn't recuse himself from the controversial issues of overseeing the election. I mean it's the right thing for anyone to do. What an asshole.
