Abrams buys TV ads for runoff as Kemp accuses her of 'desperate ploy'

Republican Brian Kemp says the race is over, and he's the winner. Democrat Stacey Abrams is purchasing TV time for a runoff election.

The candidates in one of the nation's most closely watched elections this year — the race for Georgia governor — are living in parallel universes amid a rancorous partisan fight over thousands of yet-to-be-counted ballots.

Abrams' campaign manager tweeted Friday that her team had just approved a $250,000 TV buy as it prepares for "all possibilities." The Abrams campaign is proceeding as if the race is going to a runoff — Kemp is currently just above the majority threshold to avoid one — or a recount.

Since Tuesday's election, Abrams has refused to concede while Kemp has declared victory and started preparations to succeed outgoing Gov. Nathan Deal. The Associated Press has not called the race for Kemp even though the tallies on election night showed Kemp ahead. The Abrams campaign estimates it needs to net about 26,000 votes for a runoff to be triggered, and about 24,000 votes for a recount to occur.

Just like in AZ, FL, the 11 or so pending house races, ALL THE VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED.

It's unfair to just count ballots of those who voted on election day or early voting places. The absentee and mail-in ballots should all be counted. Then you declare the winner.

I'm sickened over what's happening with not counting the ppl's votes.
