2h ago, 21:32. There are about 16,000 votes left to be counted in Georgia.

Biden, who is trailing by just about 2,500 votes, has been winning huge shares of the mail-in ballots that officials are continuing to count. His chances of overtaking the president in the red state are looking increasingly possible.

Georgia has remained reliably Republican since 1992 – when it backed southern son and Democrat Bill Clinton. In 2016, Trump beat his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by five points.

2h ago, 21:18. Trump lead in Georgia and Pennsylvania shrinks.
Joe Biden is trailing the president by just under 2,500 votes in Georgia, as election officials continue counting ballots. In Pennsylvania, Biden is trailing by 48,800 votes after officials released a new batch of ballot counts from Delaware county.

Biden has a good chance of winning both states, with uncounted ballots from liberal-leaning counties yet to be tabulated. Biden is now six electoral votes away from being declared the victor. Donald Trump’s path to victory is narrower – but still possible.

For example Stacy would have been Governor now had the Republicans not won by outright cheating and unethical actions by a number of them including the man who she lost to that oversaw his own election results.

6. So the difference is 1,775 votes with 14,000 left

Are all of those counties liberal? So Biden needs what, like 60% of them?
