Ballot count not yet finished in Georgia governor's race

ATLANTA (AP) — Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp are in a tense standoff as the fate of the Georgia governor's race remains unresolved, leaving the potential of litigation and a December runoff.

Abrams' team is renewing its concerns that Kemp, the current secretary of state, remains the chief elections officer supervising his own election, a race already marked by disputes over the voting process.

With reported votes approaching 3.8 million — almost 95 percent of Georgia's 2016 presidential turnout — Kemp has just more than 50 percent, but Abrams and her campaign maintain there are enough uncounted ballots to bring the Republican below the majority threshold required for victory.
