Not totally convinced it means much, certainly not that it's accurate. Just try to listen for numbers of how many ballots are still uncounted.

Replying to @AKellow @BrendanKeefe and @DWUhlfelderLaw
According to the Washington Post about 3%. And Biden is getting 83% of the vote. I have no idea how many votes are in that 3% though

Isiah Sanders
@MrZaySanders
Voting official there on CNN said at least 66K votes there to be released. If I heard correctly...122K total to come.

Major Fulton County, Georgia update 10:05 PM EST
23,066 newly-counted ballots
Trump: 4,708
Biden: 18,358
79.5% to Biden when he needs to win 68% of outstanding votes outstanding to tie the president.

YES! BIG NEWS GA: Purdue needs 50%+ to avid a runoff with John #Ossoff at 10:30 ET he is over 50% mark by only 2/10 of 1% with 107,000 votes to count

This means that if @ossoff can pull 10,000 votes from blue counties the Senate is up for grabs in Jan with 2 runoffs not 1!

Trump leads by 31,000 but all the ballots left are in heavily Democratic counties where Biden is getting 70-80% of the vote.
