Stacey Abrams' campaign starts 'provisional ballot chase' phone bank

Abrams continues her fight to be Georgia's next governor in a race against Republican Brian Kemp

The Stacey Abrams campaign will be holding ‘provisional ballot chase’ phone banks across the state Friday in an effort to make sure ‘every ballot is counted.’

On Wednesday, Abrams’ campaign rejected Kemp’s declaration of victory and on Thursday, held a news conference after Governor Nathan Deal’s news conference, in which Deal declared Kemp the winner and Kemp stepped down as Georgia Secretary of State.

Although Kemp has declared victory, Abrams has not conceded. Her campaign said there are still ballots to count.

"We are prepared for this fight until every vote is counted," said Allegra Lawrence-Hardy said, who is Chair for the Abrams campaign.

They would like to see the data from the election released.

"He decided to not resign, he decided to oversee his own election," said campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo. "That was not our choice. He owns this. And he owes the people of Georgia an explanation."

The Abrams' campaign said they planned on filing lawsuits for some of the complaints. Many of the concerns are about provisional and absentee ballots.
