Election Day has arrived and all eyes are on Georgia as Stacey Abrams battles Brian Kemp in the gubernatorial race. The latest polls show a tight race in the fight to be Georgia’s next governor. The Georgia polls are open until 7 p.m. Eastern and registered voters will need to bring a valid photo ID.
Much of the discussion in the days leading up to the election has centered around voting. Throughout the process, Kemp has been accused by Democrats of trying to use his power as Secretary of State to influence the election. Kemp recently fired back by accusing the Democrats of hacking the state’s voter registration system.
Five Thirty Eight’s projections give Kemp a two in three chance of winning, and Abrams a one in three chance of victory. They project a narrow Kemp victory of 50.5 to 48.3 percent of the votes.
The two latest polls show vastly different data. The 20/20 Insight poll conducted October 31-November 2 has Abrams leading Kemp by four percentage points. A poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group on October 30-November 3 has Kemp with a sizable 12 percentage point lead, a stark contrast to the majority of other polls showing a margin of two points or less.
If neither Kemp or Abrams can secure more than 50 percent of the votes, Georgia will be headed to a run-off election. According to NBC News, Georgia received more than two million early or absentee ballots prior to election day.
