Because of Trump’s anti mail-in vote messaging, these ballots are going to significantly favour Biden.

I used this site to see how each voted in the 2018 governor race. Remember though, even the red counties vote might lean blue because dems vote by mail at higher rate.

Of course that needs to happen.

I just really want NV and (my current home state) of AZ to be called so this thing is over.

Joe did VERY well throughout the state, not just in Atlanta. Maybe these will help or, at worst, not hurt too much.

Cobb being BLUE in 2020 in a surprise. Gwinnett, I'm not sure about - but it is a metro Atlanta county.

Forsyth I am sure is reliably RED.

As a Georgia native and resident, that's how I see it.

Gwinnett is around 60%, Cobb 58%, the rest are pretty much trumpsters. Might get a tad more in Chatham and Gwinnett since early mail-in ballots.

All those listed add up to 49,300 ballots. I'm going to assume the other 12K or so ballots (to get us to 61K) are from Dekalb County since it's not listed. That's very good for Biden if so.

If it skews 66% for Biden, it's roughly a tie. Anything less than 66%, I can't type it.

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
