They have 8000 military ballots that didn’t get returned. They have until end of day today to be accepted as long as they were post marked Tuesday or before.

Most military ballots already counted. This is unlikely to be more than a couple hundred.

Remember in 2000 how he literally said all military ballots should count? And then like 1700 came in that were cast after th actual election?

Democratic strongholds. So they might not even break for republicans they way military absentee ballots normally do.

If there was a state you would think military absentees don't break republicans way it would be Georgia.

But the NYT page does show a ~4k difference in Georgia...?

It looks to be real, not sure why I haven't heard the "breaking news" notification on MSNBC announcing it yet, though...

The battleground votes spreadsheet "left to be counted" shows -3458. It should be zero when you have completed all known ballots.
