Here’s why some pundits are predicting Georgia to tilt blue later today: Trump has a roughly 104k lead over Biden but the counties with ballots remaining to be tallied include some of biggest - & most populous - D strongholds: Dougherty, DeKalb, Chatham, Bibb, Richmond. #gapol

There are plenty of votes outstanding in R counties too — I’m looking at you, Jeff Davis County - but aside from Houston County they are smaller, rural places without a lot of votes to give. I asked a top Georgia Dem an estimate of how many Dem votes were left. A: Enough. #gapol

Important reminder #gapol

According to @ajc elections ace @markniesse, here's the minimum number of outstanding absentee ballots remaining:

Cobb: 13,807
DeKalb: 46,441
Fulton: 63,778
Gwinnett: 6,314
Houston: 20,107
Statewide: 236,549

Translation: Hang in there. It's going to get tighter in GA #gapol

@ajc @markniesse Biden would have to win 72% of those absentee votes to pass Trump -- though the percentage drops if we assume tens of thousands more absentees might be outstanding. Those numbers are just the minimums. #gapol

Here’s an updated breakdown of what’s left to be counted in Georgia from @GabrielSterling, the state’s voting system implementation manager. #gapol
