Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, spoke to her supporters on election night to tell them that she was not conceding. Brian Kemp, her Republican opponent and the current Secretary of State of Georgia, is leading with 50.3% of the votes as of now, but Abrams believes he would be brought under 50% once all the remaining votes have been counted. If that were to happen, a runoff election would be held and she would have another shot at winning the governorship.

“[Seven counties] are expected to return a minimum of 77,000 ballots,” Abrams campaign told CNN. “These counties also represent heavily Democratic-leaning constituencies, and the majority of those votes are anticipated to be for Abrams.” The absentee ballots that just began being counted, the campaign said, will also add to the difference.

Abrams, if elected, would become the first African-American as well as the first female to become governor of Georgia. However, her campaign faced many challenges. Her opponent had authority over the management of the election, and made it harder for Democrats to vote, whether it was intentional or not. This was done by closing polling places and stalling voter registrations, mostly black ones, for identification issues.

“Georgia is just within reach,” said Abrams in her election night speech, “but we cannot seize it until all voices are heard. And I promise you tonight, we’re going to make sure that every vote is counted.”
