Fulton County is heading into their 16th hour of absentee ballot counting at the State Farm Arena in Georgia. They are down to 17 thousand ballots to go, getting through 2-3000/hour. #gapol #Decision2020

(9,998 posts)He hasn't closed the gap much if it's at 98% with a 25K difference.
I think it's out of reach.
Polybius
(15,368 posts)If there's 100,000 left, we'd need roughly 63,000, or 63%. That's doable. But if there's only 40,000 left, we'd need huge majorities.

(10,500 posts)But that could just be a mistake that Ali Velshi made regarding the data.
But if there are 250K left, and we win them 60/40, then we will pick up 50K votes. That will get us the win.
Right now (1:08 AM) Biden is down by 25,600 votes, or 0.5%.
ON EDIT: At 1:13 AM the margin is now down to 23,000 votes.

(10,500 posts)If we win them 75/25 then that is a 45,000 vote pick up.
If we win them 80/20 then that is a 54,000 vote pick up.
I am not sure what Trump was leading by at the time this was tweeted. Some of that may have already been counted as Biden's deficit shrunk to 23,000 votes.
I seem to remember that 1 1/2 hours ago he was trailing by 32,000. So if he picks up 36,000 then that would be enough to get him the victory. And I think that this is all early vote, and mostly coming from heavily Democratic areas.
Georgia looks pretty good for us right now.

(15,368 posts)How many votes could possibly be left now?

(29,149 posts)The 95% on the NYT is the estimate of the vote. Since the share of votes varies widely between precincts, those numbers don't necessary align.

17,000 votes left from Fulton tonight, estimated from our people on the ground. They will likely report, BUT those *may* not show up right away on the ticker feeds that all the news websites rely upon because SoS has stopped updating for the night, it appears.
fixed

(3,635 posts)there are also another 50k ballots to be 'cured' (missing signature, missing signatures, etc) and most come from Atlanta, ie they lean blue.
Just hope we can win GA soon, as with NV(likely, all remaining vote is leans blue) we got this, even without AZ or PA.
Polybius
(15,368 posts)It's been stuck at 99% with Trump leading by less than 14,000.
