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 aren’t going to give up without a fight.
