WASHINGTON — The closely-watched gubernatorial election in Georgia is essentially tied, with a December runoff appearing possible if neither candidate surpasses 50 percent in the November contest, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.

In a head-to-head contest among registered voters in Georgia, both Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp receive 47 percent support. Among likely voters, Kemp gets 49 percent to Abrams' 47 percent, but that result is well within the poll's margin of error.

6. Abrams should be far ahead, but it's Georgia, with a high minority

population, which can mean heavy voter suppression, unfortunately. States like Oregon and Washington with mail in voting, large white populations, (85%, 76%) and lower minority populations don't see this kind of behavior.

We'll see how it goes for Stacy Abrams, she's a great candidate.
