I'll post the rates tomorrow with the racial breakdown. For now, let's go with the raw totals.

What do we have from today? Well, Democrats probably added about 8K votes to their margin, per @joe__gantt's estimates. That's not as much as they'd have been hoping for, to be blunt.

But let's also remember that the second weekend in the general election was a pro-GOP day. So this is certainly not the worst-case scenario everyone worried about. All of that helps the Democrats. They'd have liked more, but...it's Boxing Day.

Tomorrow, it appears as if DeKalb, Columbia, Fulton, and Gwinnett are open. This will likely result in another pro-Democratic day, but almost certainly with more votes cast. How much? I got no idea, but probably around 30K-40K. So Democrats will look to add about 10K to the lead.

We'll enter the last 4 days of early voting with approximately a (roughly) 190K vote lead for Democrats, in all likelihood. That'll leave the GOP with some ground to make up.

Turnout next week is the million dollar question. If it continues dropping off the way it has the last 5 days, the race would be almost over.

But if they GOP get a surge of voters in their areas, it's a coin flip again. Next week should tell us a lot more.

Yes, I would have liked a bit more turnout today.

No, I'm not that stunned given that only 3 counties were open (Gwinnett/Fulton the only populous ones).

Yes, I still have it at leans Democrat -- a low-turnout weekend day where I didn't expect any votes doesn't change it.

Very special thanks to these folks for their help

(I'm surprised, to be sure, at the low turnout, but I didn't realize that only three counties were open today! Given that, I have to say my initial shock at the low vote totals has just been replaced by "only 3 counties? well, that's not as much as I'd have liked, but whatever")
