The county where new ballots make up the largest share of the total count is Contra Costa County, in the Bay Area, where 40% of total votes are post-Weds ballots
The initial count was Sanders+0.3; the post Weds. ballots are Biden+8.2; the over all tally is now Biden+3.1

There's one county that says they have no mail ballots left, and updated since Weds., and that county showed an even larger swing toward Biden (though it's white and rural, which may deny Sanders his late-ballot upside)
In general, the ballots have seemed to get better for Biden every day, even controlling for the reporting county. This raises the possibility that the later ballots could keep trending his way, esp as later ballots might be likelier to be mailed post SC or post-pete/amy departure
