Trump will try to fight it, and what with all the networks walking on eggshells, they'll be afraid to officially call it?

5. A recount there is likely why election officials are being so cautious.

If they count the vote right now, Trump won’t win a recount. My guess is he tries to get ballots thrown out in blue counties.

Fulton was still listed as having 6,000+ outstanding and another blue county had 17,000+ at that point. A third and fourth blue county had around 4,000 each. I don’t know how much of that got counted for the most recent report.

13. Someone posted a outstanding county count earlier today.

One blue leaning county had 17,000 to count at that point and Fulton still had 6,000+ at that point.

But even if we go with 13,000 and Joe beating Trump better that 2:1 on ballots, that pushes Joe to around a 1,000-1,500 lead. If Trump is not making up ground with mailin ballots from red counties, Joe should hold on. Maybe that is why Republican elections officials are holding up the finish to count military ballots, they are hoping that saves Trump.

in red leaning counties. Someone on DU posted the county counts (outstanding ones) earlier tonight. It looks good for Joe, he likely wins Georgia by between 5,000-10,000 votes. I believe it will sting so bad that Trump will demand a recount and Kemp will lead the charge on that for him.
