the first Democrat to win GA in a Presidential race in 28 years.
There aren't enough votes out there to get Trump back in the lead. Almost everything left is going to pad Bidens leads now.

That is an old folks' saying that I grew up hearing from my mom who said that her own grandfather used to say something along the line of - "Grand-daughter, you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're dead".

(304,152 posts)first heard it when I lived the 1st time on Kauai back in the '90s.. someone was talking about her studying for tests and working with a baby and said that to those of us in the kitchen at work.
I never said it.. 'cause I like my sleep too much. lol

(140,314 posts)because they have been doing it about every 3.5 hours (more often than the state) and the last update the city did was at 1:21 am EST.

(19,273 posts)Georgia would bring Biden's EV to 269, one short. I don't know what happened to that one EV from Nebraska.
GB_RN
(3,079 posts)But he didnt get all of Maines EVs. Dolt45 got one of Maines EVs (so they effectively canceled out).
SergeStorms
(19,273 posts)they had Biden/Harris at 254 electoral votes. Georgia's 16 EVs would put them right at 270. Today the same board has Biden/Harris at 253 electoral votes. An electoral vote disappeared since yesterday. Either that or I'm hallucinating from lack of sleep.

(21,786 posts)number on those is estimated to be around 14K and they trend Republican; I am mildly hopeful about Georgia but also cautious because there could still be a swing in the results back the other way.
Thekaspervote
(34,289 posts)Yes the military vote tend to go gop, but the civilian vote goes dem. Also, it seems a lot of military ballots are not returned
Lets hope Bidens lead holds

(82,383 posts)After all that the Ds do for them, all the Michelle and Jill did.
After the Rs leave them high and dry when they return to the US.
They still prefer Rs. It makes no sense. Maybe it does in that they think they are tough people who don't need coddling, so they disrespect Ds trying to help them and think it is alright for them to be on their own when they return?
BGBD
(3,282 posts)There are 10k mail in ballots out there still, they are going to break for Biden by 75%
Bidens lead is going north of 4 or 5k votes at a minimum. Military ballots aren't going to save Trump. Most of the 9k wont be returned and a LOT of GA military votes are from black service members from Atlanta. There are also a lot of provisionals, which will likely break to Biden as well since they are much more likely to be young and minority voters.
And recounts don't really change more than a handful of votes. These things are counted very carefully when tallied.

(65,693 posts)MSNBC is being very cautious calling out who won. There's counting going on.
It's not over yet.

Grown2Hate
(2,136 posts)Military and ex-pat as they go. There is a POTENTIAL for 8K more (because that's still pending behind returned), but the deadline is tomorrow. Whatever comes in tomorrow (shit, later today) will be counted. But there's not a stack currently somewhere waiting to be counted.
Sunsky
(1,862 posts)they count them as they go along but they have a longer time frame to accept the military vote returns to be counted. Some on DU seem to believe that there is a pile of uncounted military votes saved for last.

Kornacki says its headed to a recount..

(764 posts)ballots, I'm afraid, if that truly all that is left outstanding. Those who think a large enough portion of the Armed Forces have turned against Trump to swing it have little to no time in uniform and don't understand how deeply entrenched the false patriotism of most Republicans is. I wish I were wrong, but that's how it was for me (via observation: I kept my non-NeoCon views mostly to myself) and our XO had Fox on in the operations room and heaven help any warrant or junior officer who changed the channel.

(3,263 posts)polls can be counted on. I expect the military ballots to break heavily for Trump. The overseas ballots may counter them, but it will be close.

(4,661 posts)I am a bit more apprehensive about the provisional ballots in PA now.
Steve Karnacki was explaining about these a short time ago.
The ballots apparently dont automatically break for Biden so it causes me much concern!!
But, we need to keep the faith.
MSNBC called the state of Georgia for Joe, or are they still waiting for those military votes?

(1,910 posts)Any military ballots that arrive before the dead line today would help Biden in all likelihood. The most recent military poll taken showed 41% Biden, 37% Trump, the rest undecided or 3rd party. And in GA I would guess that number is worse for Trump. So no 1000s of Trump military votes are going to arrive in today's mail to save the loser from defeat. Bye DON!!
