Trump 49.4% 2,448,232
Biden 49.4% 2,447,769
The trouble is, this close to the end of counting, you don't know if that's "98.6%", "99.4", or even "99.9%" (because they probably wouldn't want to round up anything over 99.5% to "100%" because that would be taken to mean "complete".
Of the counties they list, those with less than 99% counted are:
Chatham (95% counted, Biden has a 24,955 lead there, so if it came in in the same proportion, that would increase his lead by 1,313 votes! Woo-hoo!)
Cobb (95%, Biden lead 56,269 - another 2,961 in proportion)
Evans (95%, Trump lead 1,565 - another 82)
Floyd (95%, Trump lead 16,025 - another 843)
Forsyth (95%, Trump lead 42,904 - another 2,258)
Fulton (95%, Biden lead 238,526 - another 12,554)
Gwinnett (95%, Biden lead 72,399 - another 3,810)
Laurens (95%, Trump lead 6,476 - another 341)
Oconee (95%, Trump lead 8,434 - another 444)
Taylor (95%, Trump lead 1,023 - another 54)
which would be, net, another 16,616 votes for Joe. With all the county figures listed as 95, 99 or 100 percent, I suspect those are fairly rough, so all that calculation I've just done is probably meaningless.
It may also mean it's close enough that overseas military votes, probably the last to arrive, could decide it. Anyone heard how those are thought to have gone?
