Statement from Fulton County: there are at least 67k absentees that need scanning and/or adjudicating today.
That’s a big chunk of remaining votes.

Why are there still 200k+ ballots to count, you may ask?
Justin has the answer! Georgia's deadline was 7pm yesterday so counties are processing those last-minute dropoffs, on top of the thousands in counties we know are there but not yet counted. https://twitter.com/JustinGrayWSB/status/1324082931095187462?s=20

It's 4:52 p.m.
By my count, there are about 163,000 absentee-by-mail votes that we *know of* that haven't been counted, plus more potentially that arrived late yesterday.
Trump's lead in GA is only 66k votes now, with some Fulton coming in. #gapol

One of the potentially surprising data points is that Biden is currently winning 60% of Houston County's absentee ballots, with about half of its 20k absentees in.
If David Perdue has to go to a runoff because of absentees in his home county... https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1324107677186826242?s=20

Chatham County (Savannah) will only get through about a third of their 25k absentees tonight. They have the second-highest remaining totals that also skew Democratic. #gapol
