Surprise! Georgia Democrats encouraged as 'thousands of new votes' have come in for Stacey Abrams

Republican Brian Kemp has claimed victory in the Georgia governor’s race, but the Abrams campaign and the state Democratic Party are keeping their hopes alive with new findings:

BREAKING: A handful of Georgia counties just reported thousands of new *absentee*, *early*, and *Election Day* votes that @BrianKempGA’s numbers did not account for, significantly closing the gap. #CountEveryVote #gapol

.@BrianKempGA lied that it was only provisionals left. Today, 5,569 new votes were reported- 4,804 more for @staceyabrams; most of these votes are from absentees or E-Day-in counties that were falsely labeled "100%" reported. Abrams now 21,727 from runoff. #CountEveryVote #gapol

And as a result…

.@BrianKempGA’s margins just got a bit tighter. He went from 50.33% to 50.28% as more provisional ballots were tallied. #gapol pic.twitter.com/7reOWn3vrP

Abrams is still over 20,000 votes from a margin that would trigger a runoff, but the Dems are keeping their fingers crossed.

YESTERDAY –> "In a frantic search by phone and on foot, volunteers have been trying to find ballots that could help Democrat Stacey Abrams close the gap against Republican Brian Kemp in Georgia's unresolved race for governor."https://t.co/JkQFAwrhKI https://t.co/bFB3Y2hgoo

Apparently Republicans either need to hire some "Vote Finders"
Like the Dems

Or maybe we could stop this obscene fraud https://t.co/42lfn02vdo

More ballots magically appear in Georgia. Democrats want to count votes for months after every election. Ballots continue to magically appear for them. https://t.co/dH3fL7t0l6

We’ll see what the Georgia Dems can come up with by the end of the weekend.
