It's turned into a circus. Abrams is claiming that the remaining votes are from Democratic strongholds and had said that she needed 25k+ to force a runoff when the Secretary of State's office said there were only 25k ballots left to be counted. The Democrats are running an all-out ad campaign looking for people who had issues voting, begging them to call a hotline that was set-up before the election. Supposedly the court order to keep some polls open later was signed by Abrams sister but I haven't seen any proof to that claim.
The funny thing is that there was speculation that the Libertarian candidate would potentially cause a runoff and currently his vote total is probably preventing the runoff. His platform was pretty heavy on legalizing marijuana and encouraging farmers to grow industrial hemp to stabilize the soil after Hurricane Michael. Rural Georgia isn't exactly known for being in favor of legalization.
