Math In Georgia Looking Good For Biden

Trump's lead in Georgia is currently about 118,000 votes. They just showed that there are roughly 83,000 votes uncounted in DeKalb County, which Joe is leading with about 83% of the vote. Figuring conservatively, that's a net gain of roughly 65,000 votes. Then in Fulton County, there are roughly 153,000 votes uncounted with Joe getting about 72% of the vote. Again, figuring conservatively, that's a net gain of 105,000 votes or so. So just in those 2 counties, that's a pickup of 170,000 votes, erasing Trump's lead completely and putting Joe in the lead.

And the remaining uncounted votes elsewhere in the State are overwhelmingly in Democratic areas. Looking good.

I even rounded down quite liberally (which is what I meant by "figuring conservatively&quot .

If you figured Biden wins the uncounted 52-48%, then counting those ballots only nets him 4% of those ballots in terms of reducing a trump lead.
