Voters Storm The Georgia Capitol And Demand That Every Vote Be Counted
Voters flooded the Georgia capitol and stood steps away from former Sec. of State Brian Kemps office and chanted count every vote.

The supporters of Stacey Abrams are not backing down. Democrats are fighting hard in Georgia with endgame being either an Abrams victory or the forcing of a runoff election between Kemp and Abrams.
Voting rights advocates have won a string of victories in Georgia, and Republicans are now banned from certifying the election before Friday. Abrams needs to pick up roughly 20,000 votes to force a runoff because Democrats arent going to give up without a fight.

The Ga State Capitol has a public area where anyone can gather. You just walk in.

storming; doesn't have to be violent.

No one was stopped or arrested until the chanting started. I live here I know.

appropriate to not count all votes. Strange times we are in.
