Was anticipating getting Georgia results tonight, but per this article, it's not likely

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/georgia-2020-election-results/

Georgia "more than likely" headed to recount as 47,000 ballots remain uncounted, official says


There are 47,277 ballots left to count statewide in Georgia, election official Gabriel Sterling told reporters on Thursday afternoon. He also said the state has received more than 17,000 military absentee ballots, and there are 8,899 requested overseas and military ballots that could arrive tomorrow.

Here is a list of how many ballots remain to be counted in Georgia counties:

Chatham County: 17,157
Clayton County: 6,026
Cobb County: 700
Floyd County: 682
Forsyth County: 4,713
Fulton County: 7,305
Gwinnett County: 4,800
Harris County: 3,641
Laurens County: 1,797
Taylor County: 456
Sterling said votes would be audited, and added that he expected "to have a recount for president, more than likely." He said that the process of counting ballots is "going to take time."

"'Done' is a very relative term at this point," Sterling said.

Delta is +12,773 to trump.

Anyone know why a recount would be done given the first counting hasn't been completed.

He has brutalized the military pretty badly. They aren't happy.

They may just suck it up and vote for him like all the others, but he made it personal on a lot of levels with them.

Virginia Beach has tons of military and is usually RED.

Biden will probably erase that with the votes from Savannah/Chatham. Then it’s just a question of holding on as the rest are counted. Biden should also make gains in Gwinnett and Clayton

I also don’t know how synchronized the counting / processing is and the reported totals. I’m sure there is some amount of time after they finish counting and before they get the total updated.

recount can be requested, but has to be paid for by the requesting party, up front

If Biden wins PA by 100k or more votes, that wouldn't be within the margin to trigger an automatic recount, and Trumpy ain't paying for it
