Georgia Military ballots

I’ve read conflicting things. That there are 12,000 yet expected to be counted is what I read once. Or that they have already been counted along with everything else, but a few hundred more might still come in.

Anyone know which is true?

The military and expat votes have been counted along with everything else, but there are still 8K military not returned that MUST be returned today. So, we could have 500, or we could have 8k.

Much more likely to be closer to 500.

So I think Joe’s lead will grow to a few thousand and hold up. Wow!

There about 8,000 sent out but haven’t been returned.

Hard to say if they will come in today

And thanks to Trump sabotaging the USPS...I'll bet a lot of those ballots are still sitting in USPS distribution centers!

9. I think chances are good that only small number of those ballots will arrive today.

Today is the last day for them to arrive.
But I believe GA also has provisional ballots they haven't counted yet.

14. Provisional ballots usually change nothing.

I think Biden’s lead right now isn’t totally safe, but if it gets to 2,000 it will be.
