Volunteers spread out Friday trying to find any ballots that could help Democrat Stacey Abrams close the gap against Republican Brian Kemp in their unsettled, too-close-to-call race for Georgia governor.
Unofficial returns show Kemp with an advantage, and he’s already resigned as secretary of state to start a transition with the blessing of the outgoing GOP governor, Nathan Deal. President Donald Trump weighed in with a tweet that said Kemp “ran a great race in Georgia - he won. It is time to move on!”
Yet Abrams, who hopes to become the nation’s first black female governor, sent out volunteers and campaign staff in search of votes that she hopes could still tilt the margin toward her.
In a frantic effort to make sure every possible vote is counted, dozens of volunteers converged on a warehouse-turned-phone bank near downtown. The goal: reach voters who used a provisional ballot to make sure they take steps to ensure their vote — for Abrams or Kemp — is counted by Friday evening, the deadline. …

The usual question: Are the Republicans scrambling to do the same thing and match or exceed the Rat ground game?
Looking for voters by phone? How are you supposed to find a ballot that way or are they just trying to find protesters
It is Friday evening, so it should be over.
Stop AP, stop... your bias....it’s hurting my brain...it’s too stupid and predictable...argh...hep me hep me...
If early voting isn’t enough there is always the late vote!
The voting is still open, and corrupt thugs are handling ballots? Is there no local or state government in GA? They had more civil order when Bill Sherman was re-designing the landscape of GA.
Well in THIS case, it happens to be the Democrat candidate that’s asking the volunteers to go out, in this story about it.
Aaaah. It’s possible to get so buzzed up over biases that when the story explicitly covers Democrats, it’s still seen as biased. I have all but sworn off FR because of this insane buzz.
We have after election day voting now?
If your ballot wasn’t in by election day, it should be deemed invalid.
Democrats have to cheat
THE ELECTION IS OVER!!
How about both?
A group of protesters protesting that their three day late ballot is invalid
This is cheating pure and simple
Why is the media not calling them out on this?
Wasn’t Tuesday the voting deadline???
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS LIARS!!!
That morbidly obese POS Abrams probably ate some ballots.
who does AP represent?
And liberals claimed to be appalled when Trump equivocated on accepting election results during a debate with Clinton...
Wasn’t the election this past Tuesday? How can voters now vote for a past election? Is there to a runoff or something?
Wasn’t Tuesday the voting deadline???
Only for republicans
The Left.
I’d bet the volunteers carry ballots with them.
