1. So there are still about 100,000 votes to count

If the 97.9% counted number is accurate.
So Joe has to make up an ~19,000 vote deficit. Basically, he needs to get over 60% of the remaining vote and he seems to have been doing much better than that up to this point. I believe he will win Georgia.

Georgians what do you think, given the places where those votes are coming from?

3. If the votes are coming from DeKalb & Fulton Counties, Biden can win.

Ossoff may be able to force a runoff. You need 50% + 1 vote to win outright.

My county Gwinnett has elected Democrats across the board. County Commissioners, Sheriff, District Attorney and a Congresswoman. We are part of Metro Atlanta.
