and counting resumed. There is Dekalb County and some in Gwinnett. So, maybe.

In Fulton County they're reporting that the 395k votes cast are about 72% of the expected total, meaning there are still ~ 153k votes still to come in.

Biden's leading in Fulton 72.5 - 26.4, a margin of 46.1.

If that margin holds, Biden should pick up ~ 46.1% of 153k = ~ 71k votes net


Similarly in Dekalb. They're reporting that 316k votes case are 79% of the expected total, meaning there are still 84k votes to come in.

Biden's leading Dekalb 83-16 .a margin of 57.

If that margin holds, Biden should pick up ~ 57% of 84k = 48k votes net.

He's also going to pick up votes in Savannah, Augusta, Macon and Columbus, though not as many.

about 49% reported with 27,358 votes, and he's winning at a rate (67.4) that is very close to what HRC won there (68.4), so it seems likely that he'll keep at that pace.

So that's 240k votes still available in massive democratic strongholds. And there are several other less populous counties around Atlanta that still have a few thousand apiece as well.

So ... keep the faith, or spread it, as Joe's mom would say!
