Kemp Resigns As SOS After Declaring Victory; Activists Head To Court

Brian Kemp has declared victory in the Georgia governor race.

Republican Brian Kemp has resigned as Georgia Secretary of State after his campaign declared victory in Georgia’s governor race.

Kemp says he wants to move forward with transition after his aides say he captured enough votes to become Georgia governor, even though his election rival is conceding nothing. Democrat Stacey Abrams points to ballots that have yet to be counted and says there’s still the possibility of a December runoff in one of the nation’s marquee midterm races.

The Associated Press has not called the election.
