| Georgia Democrats tout surprise ballots that could sink Brian Kemp's bid for governor | |
| 2018-11-12 | |
The Democratic Party of Georgia tweeted Saturday evening that a "handful" of Georgia counties reported thousands of "new" absentee, early, and Election Day votes not accounted for by Republican candidate Brian Kemp. Kemp, who resigned as secretary of state on Thursday, has asserted victory even though the race has not been called and Abrams has yet to concede. The latest vote tally on the Georgia secretary of state's website shows Kemp leading by more than a percentage point. Kemp had 1,975,806 votes to Abrams' 1,916,931 -- a margin of 58,875 votes -- leading 50.28 percent to Abrams' 48.78 percent. The Libertarian candidate, Ted Metz, had a mere 37,149 votes and 0.95 percent of the vote. Earlier in the day, Kemp's campaign argued that it was "mathematically impossible" for Abrams to pull ahead or get close enough to trigger a recount, even with the remaining uncounted provisional and military ballots. | |

| #7 Sad how many Democrats are staying silent during this obvious perversion of our system. They just keep saying that every vote must be counted...no matter if the vote was cast by a dead person, illegal alien, felon or fictitious character. |

| #6 They just keep finding votes (who are, amazingly, overwhelmingly -D) until they win. Sad how many Democrats and non-democrats are staying silent during this obvious perversion of our system. FIFY - why is this being allowed? |

| #5 Wait for the totals and then see how much effort you need to put into cheating. They've learned from Trump's and Brexit's unexpected (to them) victory, they need to step up the cheating. |

| #3 Looks like the Dems took what Stalin said to heart: Joseph Stalin said: "It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." |
