But theres a court ruling that caused the state to tell the counties go back and look at absentee ballots where there was an issue with date of birth. if it changes, you have until friday to do that. youre probably talking there about hundreds of votes statewide. stacey abrams would need to knock the margin down to about 18,000. if she did that, kemp would be under 50%, in a runoff. >> shes 18,000 from a runoff. >> yeah, or she also would need to be within a point to call for a recount. but the ...
