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 
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

The Secretary of State’s office just said there are actually roughly 61k absentee ballots still out, though Democrats say the remaining total is likely to be higher. A state elections official described it as a “moving target” across Georgia’s 159 counties. Stay tuned. #gapol
Georgia elections official @GabrielSterling on the slow ballot counting process: Some county staffers sometimes “forget to press the upload button" accounting for some delays. Stresses patience. “Fast is great. We appreciate fast. We more appreciate accuracy.” #gapol
The margins have continued to tighten in Georgia, where Joe Biden is now within 15,000 votes of surpassing President Trump. #gapol
A 1p update: Biden continues to gain ground in Georgia, narrowing the gap with Trump to about 13,500 votes. State elections officials say there’s about 50k absentee ballots still left to be counted - along with provisionals, military, overseas votes. #gapol
A 3 p.m. update: Joe Biden has pulled within 13,000 votes of President Trump in Georgia. According to state officials, there are roughly 47,000 absentee ballots still out — mostly in Democratic-leaning counties. #gapol
President Trump’s lead in Georgia has shrunk below 10,000 votes as absentee ballots in Fulton County are counted. We’re waiting for another batch of absentee ballots from heavily-Democratic Chatham County as Joe Biden gets closer to surpassing Trump. #gapol
About 39,000 absentee ballots, mostly concentrated in metro Atlanta and Savannah, remained to be tallied. There are also provisional ballots and military absentees to count over the next few days. #gapol ajc.com/politics/presi…
The margin has thinned to about 3,600 votes in Georgia as Chatham ballots come in. #gapol
The reason Democrats are particularly optimistic: There are roughly 6,000 absentee ballots left in Clayton County - the state’s most Democratic county. Those totals alone can cover the rest of the gap. #gapol
Trump’s lead over Biden is now down to roughly 2,500 votes in Georgia — with about 16,000 absentee ballots remaining + thousands of provisionals, military and overseas ballots. #gapol
Nail-biter: Trump’s cushion in Georgia is now less than 2k votes. #gapol
The margin is now at 1,797 ...
Trump netted only about 30 votes with a batch of absentee ballots from Forsyth - his best remaining county - while Democrats still wait for more results from left-leaning counties to arrive. #gapol
1,709. The first batches of votes from Clayton is coming in. #gapol
It’s not loading on the state elections website yet for some reason, but the latest batches of Clayton County returns has narrowed the gap between Trump and Biden in Georgia to ~1,400 votes. #gapol results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/Clayton/105…
By our count, the gap between Biden and Trump has now been whittled to 1,237 -- but it's still not posting on the state website. You can find the county returns as they trickle in here: #gapol results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/Clayton/105…
And there it is. Here we go — there are roughly 3,000 absentee ballots remaining in Clayton County, and Biden is winning them overwhelmingly #gapol
The gap is about 665 now, though it still hasn’t showed up on the state website. Stay tuned. #gapol
Stay awake: Biden could pass Trump in Georgia in the next batch of ballots that Clayton reports. #gapol
Another batch in: The margin dividing Trump and Biden in Georgia is now a skinny 466 votes. #gapol
*463
