Georgia @sendavidperdue is veering ever closer to runoff territory, as Jon @ossoff’s vote tally creeps up with every new trove of absentee returns from Democratic-leaning territory. #gapol #gasen
50.2 #gasen
We are now within about .17 percentage points of a second Senate runoff in Georgia. #gasen
David Perdue is now .07 percentage points away from sinking below the 50-percent mark and setting up a potential runoff against Jon Ossoff. #gasen

The latest in Georgia: Trump and Biden are separated by only 18,500 votes, and more than 50,000 absentee ballots from mainly Democratic-leaning counties remain to be counted. That doesn't include provisionals, military and overseas ballots & ballots that are cured. #gapol Image
The ballots are mostly coming from densely-populated areas, led by Fulton County and Chatham County (Atlanta and Savannah). Take a look at the breakdowns below - our @ajc team is keeping this updated throughout the day: #gapol ajc.com/politics/about…
If Biden flips Georgia, this will be why: Solid performance in core Atlanta counties, big gains in the inner suburbs, and undercutting GOP margins in the conservative exurbs and outer burbs. #gapol

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

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

The @nytimes needle has moved and some at the Georgia GOP party are quietly taking note. The reason why? DeKalb is starting to come in, giving Democrats a net 100k gain. #gapol
As of 1:20A, Trump has a 240k vote lead over Biden in Georgia — and much of DeKalb, as well as portions of Gwinnett, Cobb and Fulton — remain outstanding. #gapol
Most of DeKalb is now in - and it helped Biden considerably narrow the gap. He now trails Trump by about 120k votes in Georgia, with still more to be counted in left-leaning metro Atlanta counties. #gapol

Republican Doug Collins concedes to @SenatorLoeffler and pledges to support her in the Jan. 5 runoff against Democrat @ReverendWarnock #gapol #gasen
@SenatorLoeffler @ReverendWarnock More: #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/live-…
In the other #gasen race, @sendavidperdue still has a commanding edge over Jon @ossoff. But most of metro Atlanta - including nearly all of DeKalb - have still not been reported. #gapol

A little more on the one-sided results so far: Fulton and Cobb mail-in votes have been tallied, but nothing substantial yet from other Democratic bastions of Gwinnett, DeKalb, Augusta, Athens, Columbus or Macon. #gapol
Most of deeply-Republican Hall County has now reported, expanding Trump’s margins. In #gasen special election, @SenatorLoeffler maintains her lead over Collins despite his home county’s vote totals. #gapol
Republican @sendavidperdue is outperforming Trump by about 300k votes, building himself a big cushion for when metro Atlanta votes start coming in. Virtually nothing in yet from the Democratic stronghold of DeKalb, lots of votes left in Cobb, Gwinnett and Fulton. #gapol #gasen
