I take no accountability. This was China's fault. My rallies are huge. Fire Fauci.

the latest on georgia:

 

About 200,000 absentee ballots remained to be counted in Georgia on Wednesday afternoon, many of them concentrated in some of the state's largest counties.

The counties with the most pending ballots were Fulton in metro Atlanta, Chatham in Savannah, and Houston south of Macon.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found the number of outstanding absentee ballots by comparing how many absentee ballots have been counted with how many absentee ballots have been returned to county election officials. These figures are publicly available from the secretary of state's website.

There are likely additional absentee ballots left to be tallied that were returned to county election offices before Tuesday's 7 p.m. deadline but hadn't yet been processed.

The large number of remaining absentee ballots could delay final election results for several days.

But many county election offices said they're planning to complete most of their vote-counting Wednesday.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he wants counties to finish counting absentee ballots quickly so that close races can be decided. State law gives county election officials until Nov. 13 to certify final election results.

"Officials in numerous counties are continuing to count ballots, with strong security protocols in place to protect the integrity of our election," Raffensperger said. "It's important to act quickly, but it's more important to get it right."

Cobb, DeKalb, Clayton, Forsyth, Dougherty, Gwinnett and Walton counties rounded out the 10 jurisdictions with the most pending absentee ballots.

The number of outstanding absentee ballots was accurate as of 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, but numbers will likely change quickly as election officials count more ballots.

Seventy-two of Georgia's 159 counties appeared to have little or no absentee ballots remaining to be counted, according to the AJC's analysis.

Dang, so currently right now, Biden is behind about 68,000 votes in Georgia.

 

And if the ONLY remaining ballots are absentee ballots (I know that's not the case, but for the sake of argument lets say so). That means Biden has to get a 65/35 split on those 200k absentee ballots in order to come from behind.

 

Its possible. It will be very fucking close, but its possible.

The only downside is they lost the senate. oh well.

They definitely don't have total control of the senate. That's a downside.

 

And it absolutely sucks that we are in a situation in which we have to make sure the David Purdue-John Ossof Georgia Senate race has to go in a runoff, which means Ossof has to get more of the remaining votes so that Purdue falls below 50%.

 

And that would mean BOTH Georgia seats are going to a runoff on January 5th, and that means both the Democrats and Republicans are going to go cuh-razy with campaigning in Georgia for the next two months.

 

And the Democrats would need to pull off two amazing wins in both Georgia races.

 

All of that just to get to 50-50. Which doesn't grant Senate Democrats as much freedom as they'd wish, but they would have Kamala as a tie-breaker at all times.

 

Alot of things have to happen. And it'd be nice if we got a surprise in North Carolina with the remaining ballots, but nobody knows what is happening there.
