There will be a difference of under 20,000 votes, but Biden will pull it out I bet.

although I’d bet trump if from most of the Georgia bases I’ve been to.

Then, there are some provisional ballots.

Highly unlikely all of them will arrive tomorrow, I presume.

overseas. But I could definitely be wrong.

From AJC —

There were 8,899 absentee ballots from military and overseas voters that hadn’t yet been returned to election offices in Georgia as of Thursday morning, according to the secretary of state’s office. Another 17,529 overseas ballots had already been returned and counted.

11. They're expecting the last of the military votes tomorrow.

It's unclear if the military votes have already been counted in these batches in counties where they arrived or if they're holding on to all of them to count them tomorrow. The deadline for them to arrive is tomorrow. But many will have been received days ago.

But I do think that if there's a substantial number it will wipe out the lead. Biden can only get max +5k here, he won't get much more than that if he even breaks the threshold.

12. At least 40k provisional ballots will also have to be counted.

The great majority of those would be from people who tried to vote live on election day.
