Most media outlets (including ABC News) still haven’t projected a winner in the Ossoff-Perdue race, but Ossoff currently leads by 17,025 votes, or 0.38 percentage points. Notably, that is a wider margin than Biden’s win in Georgia in November. And with many votes from heavily Democratic areas still to be counted, there’s a good chance that Ossoff’s final margin will be wider than 0.5 points — which would mean that Perdue can’t request a recount.

We’re not sure exactly how many votes are still outstanding in Georgia and exactly where they are — a fuller picture should be available around lunchtime — but here’s what we do know. The New York Times estimates that about 73,000 ballots have yet to be counted, mostly in very blue counties (e.g., 19,000 in DeKalb, 11,000 in Fulton). Other media outlets have also reported that there are about 4,000 absentee votes left in Fulton County and 3,000 left in Chatham County.

In terms of outstanding votes, there will also be a few thousand provisional ballots around the state. More than 11,000 provisionals ballots were cast in the presidential election, and a little more than 60 percent went for Biden. There will likely be fewer than that for the runoffs, but they will also lean Democratic.

You're right I think. It's just that it might also mean that if you cross me and I'll destroy you. He's probably running in 2024 so some republicans might try to stay on his good side to be in good favor with him because Biden will surely underwhelm voters these next few years which gives Trump a chance.

Trump is not running for POTUS in 2024. He is going to prison.

technically he could run from prison

The ole Eugene V Debs maneuver

Sally Yates.

Poetic Justice

I want Schiff

Same but I don’t think Biden will be taking anymore people from Congress. Anyway Schiff can continue to investigate and there are about to be a whole lot of investigations.

0.5% of 5M votes = 25,000

Ossoff only needs to expand their lead by another 8,000 or so to decisively pass the recount threshold

With 75-80,000 votes still to be tallied that will be at least two-thirds Dem, that means Ossoff's lead will grow by roughly another 25,000 votes

So, his lead will likely end up being 40-50,000 votes when all done, way more than needed to win decisively

Why not Stacey Abrahams? she is a Yale graduated lawyer and could fill the role

BTW, Ossoff's margin of victory will be very close to the amount of first time Dem voters registered in the runoff voting drive this Fall

I just had a thought......With the senate looking like it is going to swing dem does this mean the John Lewis Voting Rights act gets passed? I do hope so this should help stop the gerrymandering

I doubt that is her agenda though. She wants to be Governor, then POTUS

Cause she's going to run for GA Governor in 2022, and this time she's going to win.

The great thing about this is they can all go tear themselves apart as a sideshow, but they won't be able to conduct their party's civil war on the main stage.

Fox News DC Branch reporting on the scene in Washington. Note that they say Biden will be certified today. Not even an acknowledgement of the BS electoral challenge nonsense. Report includes several Trumpers arrested for hauling guns and ammo
