What a night, friend. What we thought would be a decisive result in our race turned into a national voting disaster.
Georgians deserve better. I voted today [because] of absentee ballot defects. From Jasper to Fulton to Coffee & Chatham, long lines, inoperable machines & under-resourced communities are being hurt. @GaSecofState owns this disaster. He must stop finger-pointing and fix it. -- Stacey Abrams
Let me start by saying that voting conditions yesterday were beyond unacceptable! Some voters had to wait up to 4 hours in line to cast their vote in GA-07 -- and around 30,000 absentee votes haven't been counted at all yet.
Right now, we know I'm around 700 votes behind making it to a run-off election. With tens of thousands of votes left to count -- I'm liking where I'm at right now.
But, Georgia Republicans are playing politics as usual and the process continues to drag on -- so it may take a while to know what exactly is in front of us.
Friend, you've been with me at every step of the way -- and now I'm asking you to help us prepare for whatever happens next. Will you chip in to keep this campaign running so we can prepare for a possible run-off election in August?

We can't go into this thinking that it's over. If there is anything I've learned in this campaign so far it is: it's not over until it's OVER.
I'll update you when I hear more!
