Georgia's Stacey Abrams refuses to concede, says victory 'within reach'

Democrat Stacey Abrams said early Wednesday that she’s not conceding the Georgia governor's race despite Republican candidate Brian Kemp’s lead.

“I’m here to tell you tonight that votes remain to be counted,” Abrams told her supporters in Atlanta.

Kemp is leading Abrams by about three percentage points — 50.6 percent to 48.5 percent — with 97 percent of precincts reporting.

The Democrat’s campaign believes there are enough outstanding votes to trigger a run-off election in the state. If neither candidate earns more than 50 percent of the vote, then they will head for a Dec. 4 runoff — the first general election gubernatorial runoff in the state’s history.

Note that Kemp's number stays just above that which requires a run-off in Georgia.

Cheating bastard. At least this time, his cheats are documented. He should be in jail.

with NO voter interference is a must!!! Crooks can not be allowed to steal an election. That is un-American and he should go to jail for doing this.
