Abrams Campaign Manager: 'Unbelievable' Number Of Irregularities

Because Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp refused to provide a list of voters who cast an emergency or provisional ballot, "our team, because the secretary of state has refused to make that data public, associated with the 21,000, has been literally going in and taking pictures and making copies of these lists that were collected in precincts across the state on election day," said Lauren Groh-Wargo, Stacey Abrams' campaign manager.

"And they've tallied those numbers up, along with data analysis that we have done on outstanding early votes and mail ballots. Our current best guess is that there are at least 30,800 outstanding ballots. This does not include the military and overseas ballots that in Georgia had to be received by the end of today. That number I gave you does not yet include those numbers and it doesn't include potentially other hundreds and thousands of provisionals that are stacked up in a corner, or data glitches --I mean, we have seen an unbelievable number of irregularities and problems voting that are directly linked to Brian Kemp's horrible election administration."

She described 16-year-old machines that were breaking down during the early voting and on election day.

She was saying that she is saddened by the fact that this is not something that is unbelievable, even though in a liberal democracy it should be.

Google, Apple and yet, we can't create a nationwide voter registration and ballots for each state?
I don't believe it.

To blow up in Kemp’s face in a big way.

I hope there are video clips of the voters she refers to in the last paragraph. What a betrayal.
