Biden will win Georgia

The NY Times has Trump leading Biden by only 1,902 votes in Georgia. With 4% of Clayton county left to be counted and with Biden at a 84.9% advantage, he will gain over enough votes to beat trump even if his percentage drops by 5% there.

It'll be interesting to see how these vote dumps are affecting the senate race.

... but a candidate may request one if the margin is less than 0.5%, which would be about 25,000 votes. Which I'm sure this one will be.

The cutoff for a recount request used to be 1% but was changed in 2019.

The new vote dumps have made it so that now it looks like both senate elections are going to go to runoff elections, so donate below to Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock!
