There have been reports circulating in Georgia where people encountered broken voter machines and long lines because there was a machine shortage.

However, WSB-TV is reporting that 700 voting machines were discovered in a Fulton County warehouse Wednesday. The machines were allegedly put away due to a pending lawsuit regarding paper ballots.

Election officials in the county that includes Atlanta who uses around 2,000 machines for the mid-term election. The machines provided were not able to meet the demand of voters.

As of now, Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams has refused to concede and votes are still being counted.

Despite this fact, her opponent Brain Kemp press secretary issued the following statement:

“Brian Kemp earned nearly two million votes on Tuesday, by far the most of any gubernatorial candidate in our state’s history. Absentee ballots are counted and Kemp leads his opponent by 64,000 votes. Based on counts released by the Secretary of State’s office, Brian Kemp’s margin is so large that the number of provisional ballots and overseas ballots will not change his Election Day victory. Simply put, it is mathematically impossible for Stacey Abrams to win or force a run-off election. Peach State voters made a clear decision at the ballot box. Brian Kemp will now begin his transition as governor-elect of Georgia. He will work every day to keep our state moving in the right direction.”
