Stacey Abrams Georgia Gubernatorial Concession Speech; 27,000 Votes Remain Uncounted

Stacey Abrams Georgia Gubernatorial Concession Speech; 27,000 Votes Remain Uncounted - Video

Stacey Abrams Georgia Gubernatorial Concession Speech; 27,000 Votes Remain Uncounted Democrat Stacey Abrams conceded the Georgia Gubernatorial Race to former Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp just about 35 mintutes ago in Atlanta. Abrams gave a non-concession concession speech vowing to not rest until the rights of disenfranchised voters were upheld. Indeed, because even though Abrams gave that speech, there are still approximately 27,000 Georgia provisional ballots that have not been counted. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg ordered 27,000 Georgia provisional ballots to be counted on Monday of this week. Abrams only needed just over 14,000 votes to throw the election into runoff status. Abrams speech does not halt the judges' order. Presumably, the count will continue as per Judge Totenberg's order. Meanwhile, Stacey Abrams promised to file a giant lawsuit in Federal court against the voting process in Georgia. What was strange about this campaign is that on Election Day 2018 evening, Kemp had a lead of 51.7 percent of the total votes in the Georgia Gubernatorial Race. But then by Friday, that lead dropped to 50.33, then 50.27 that Monday, and then to 50.22 percent today. Moreover, Channel 11 Atlanta ran a chart that reported Abrams reached 49 percent and Kemp dropped to 50 percent - a runoff. All of that, as Kemp said "all of the votes have been counted" - which means all of the votes were not counted. How Kemp can feel comfortable calling himself Georgia Governor is questionable. More like "Half-Gov" is appropriate. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
