A major poll counting station in Atlanta had a burst pipe. Didn't damage any ballots, but it put them way behind schedule.

But as I'm playing with the map, it probably doesn't mean much.

GA doesn't seem like it would be a tipping point.

A second big blue county was late reporting another 500,000 votes and I believe won't do so until tomorrow.

I wonder whether the unreported votes also changes the Senate races?

Needle looked strong for HRC early in a lot of places, then crashed and slowly slipped to Trump. The opposite appears to be happening. I'm still very hopeful, we've got a long way to go folks!
