Which are trending to Joe regardless of where they are coming out of.

Question is if the ex-pat vote comes in tomorrow and also provisional s need to be counted (people who came to the polls without an ID and need to be verified).

Cobb is blue and big.
Floyd is slightly red and medium-sized.
Forsyth used to be all white. These days it’s light-blue and fairly big.
Gwinnett is blue and big.
Laurens is light-red and medium-sized.
Taylor is light-blue and small.

Unless the military vote breaks for Trump 90-10, Biden should wind up with a significant lead after the initial count. There may be a recount.

As noted above, however, these remaining votes are coming from mail-in and absentee ballots which, across the country, have favored Biden/Harris.

...but here's the thing: around the country, Biden is doing well (although, obviously, not 3:1 well) in mail-in ballots even in deep-red counties. Why? Because Trump told his followers to not vote by mail, so they all showed up at the polls. (Remember the "red mirage?" ) So, since those votes have already been baked into the total, all that remain are the votes from those who didn't heed 45's words, which means they're likely to be Biden votes.
