Amount of ballots remaining in GA

Georgia still has at least 240,000 votes left to count, secretary of state says

In Georgia, where the presidential race is too close to call, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Wednesday morning “our job isn’t done yet” and that they still need to count 200,000 mail-in ballots and between 40,000 and 50,000 early in-person votes.

He said that the counties covering the Atlanta metro area, DeKalb, Fulton and Cobb as well as Forsyth County are still counting all of those votes and then will need to move on to counting ballots returned by overseas and military voters.

Raffensperger said his team across the state is trying to finish counting the votes by the end of the day.

"Every legal ballot will be counted,” he said.
