(52,343 posts)1. I would be happier if it were
5000 to offset the 9000 military absentee ballots, assuming a 50/50 split. You never know how they're going to vote.

(53,345 posts)3. There likely WON'T be 9,000 military ballots
There were just under 9k sent out but not all have been returned.
And it's only what will arrive today...maybe a few dozen?

(52,343 posts)9. Thanks Lisa and Rolando. Very reassuring.

(47,423 posts)4. I would be happier if it were 150,000.
But it's neither here nor there.
By the way very unlikely 9,000 ballots would arrive today. The number likely to be substantially less.

Per GA Secretary of State, remaining 8,197 absentees left to count include:
Cobb Co.: 700
Floyd Co.: 444
Gwinnett Co.: 4,800
Laurens Co.: 1,797
Taylor Co.: 456
Plus up to 8,900 military ballots. Once Gwinnett counts, I think it'll be tough for Trump to overcome Biden's lead.
Not sure the "losers" and "suckers" will break for Trump
