State elections officials just received more votes from DeKalb County, the most important Democratic stronghold in Georgia, cutting Trump’s lead over Biden to about 87k. #gapol

If Biden manages to flip Georgia, this @nytimes map shows how Democrats pulled it off: They held court in urban counties and turned suburban and exurban counties a deeper shade of blue compared with four years ago. #gapol

The latest: Democrats have cut Trump’s edge within 80k votes. Expect that margin to continue to tighten as metro Atlanta returns trickle in. #gapol

Also: Georgia Republican @sendavidperdue is now only about 28k votes above the 50-percent mark, as @ossoff draws nearer to runoff territory. #gapol #gasen

Just got a batch of votes in from deep-blue DeKalb and deep-red Stephens counties. Dems are netting votes in Republican-leaning counties because of their aggressive mail-in program. Trump is now up by about 78k in Georgia. #gapol

New returns from Fulton and Douglas counties just came in, and Biden has narrowed Trump’s lead in Georgia to about 68k votes. Trump is also about to descend below the 50-percent mark. #gapol

The vote gap between Biden and Trump in Georgia has narrowed to 60k votes as more returns from Savannah’s Chatham County come in. Trump is at an even 50% now in battleground Georgia. #gapol

Biden is one state away from winning the presidency, and he’s closed the gap with Trump in Georgia now to 57k votes. Buckle up. #gapol

Trump has dipped below the 50-percent mark in Georgia — and is likely to stay there as returns from more Democratic-leaning counties pile in. #gapol

A new batch of returns from Cobb County pulls Biden within 40k votes of surpassing Trump in Georgia. The Democrat has a path: The state says roughly 122,000 absentee ballots are still not returned, mostly from solidly Democratic metro ATL and Savannah. #gapol

There’s about 90,000 absentee ballots left to be counted in Georgia, and Trump has a 40k vote lead. Most of the uncounted ballots are concentrated in highly populated areas around Atlanta and Savannah. #gapol ajc.com/politics/about…

Get ready for another long night as final Fulton County results are expected after midnight. #gapol

.@chucktodd: "Georgia might not be called this week. It is possible that this is one of those states where you have to wait until all the provisional ballots are in." #gapol

Trump’s margin has now shrunk to about 34k votes in Georgia, as the race for president here continues to tighten ... #gapol

It’s 11 p.m. in Georgia and 28 hours since the polls closed — and the race for president continues to tighten. We’re looking at a roughly 32k gap between Trump and Biden here - with about 78k absentee ballots still outstanding. #gapol

Most of these uncounted absentee ballots are concentrated in highly populated (and Democratic leaning) areas, led by Fulton County in Atlanta and Chatham County in Savannah. #gapol ajc.com/politics/about…

It’s 12:30 a.m. and the race for president in Georgia is still too close to call. With more absentee ballots in from deep-blue DeKalb, Biden has now narrowed Trump’s lead to within about 29,000 votes. Still 70k+ absentee ballots outstanding. #gapol

The gap between Trump and Biden in Georgia is now down to 23k votes as more Fulton County votes get counted. #gapol

Biden on the verge in Georgia #gapol ajc.com/politics/presi…

A nail-biter: The gap in Georgia has narrowed to about 18,500 votes between Trump and Biden. The Secretary of State told @wsbtv there are fewer than 25,000 absentee ballots remaining and they should be finished by noon today. #gapol

The @ajc’s @markniesse ran the numbers and found there’s at least 50k absentee ballots remaining to be counted, and Democrats say there’s more than 70k left, primarily in metro Atlanta and Savannah. #gapol ajc.com/politics/presi…

Here’s our latest tally of how many absentee ballots remain - and where they are coming from. (Hint: Most are concentrated in highly populated areas, led by Fulton County in Atlanta and Chatham County in Savannah.) #gapol ajc.com/politics/about…
