Ossoff's lead increasing again, now 17,000.

Woo hoo!

[LisaL]

1. Hope he gets over 0.5%.

[dchill]

2. I believe that will happen.

[triron]

6. So does Nate Cohn and Dave Wasserman.

[dchill]

10. Those are two big reasons I believe.

[spicysista]

3. Oh yeah!!!

[Cha]

4. Steady On, Jon!

7. Math please: are we not over the recount percentage yet ?

2,194,578 / 2,211,603 * 100 = 99.23.

100-99.23 = .77

Corrections if any, please.

[triron]

9. No but we will be.

11. That math isn't quite correct

Get each candidate's percent by dividing their amount by the total. Then the difference between those has to be greater that 0.5%.

Ossoff = 2,211,603
Perdue = 2,194,578

Total = 2,211,603 + 2,194,578 = 4,406,181

Ossoff % = (2,211,603 / 4,406,181) * 100% = 50.193%
Perdue % = (2,194,578 / 4,406,181) * 100% = 49.807%

Margin = 50.193% - 49.807% = 0.386%

So close - but not quite there.

13. Roger that.

[ananda]

8. And Kornacki said there were around 30K mailins.

still to come from Dekalb and Fulton counties.

Whoo!

[onenote]

12. That is inconsistent with this report that all counties but Hancock are fully reported.
