#MidtermElections had an all time high for voter turnout! In Georgia, 3.8 million votes were cast this year, compared to the 2.5 million cast in 2014.

Did you #govote yesterday?

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

We will fight for every vote. The best is yet to come. #gapol

“...you’re going to have a chance to do a do-over.“

Georgia election laws state candidates must go into a runoff election if no one gets 50% of the vote.

With @BrianKempGA barely holding a 2% lead over @staceyabrams and thousands of uncounted votes, a runoff is possible.
