(ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Candidates running to be Georgia's next governor held a debate Tuesday (October 23) evening with only two weeks to go before the midterm elections November 6th.

If nominated, Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams would be the first black woman to become governor of an American state, and the first Democratic governor of Georgia since 1998.

The GOP nominee, Brian Kemp, is Georgia's current Secretary of State.

"In a recent video you called on illegals to vote for you in this election.

I was actually shocked, I had to watch that video twice, it clearly shows that you were asking for undocumented and documented folks to be part of your winning strategy.

So my question is why are you encouraging people to break the law for you in this election," Kemp said.

In response Abrams said, "I have never in my life asked for anyone who is not legally eligible to vote to be able to cast a ballot.

What I've asked for is that you allow those who are legally eligible to vote to allow them to cast their ballot.

And in fact we took you to court in 2016 and a federal judge said you illegal canceled 34,000 registrations.

You have used the same exact system, the exact match system, that is under dispute right now."
