Maybe the Deplorable are "looking" for some extra votes.

This is a longstanding Georgia tradition. Fulton County slow counts so that Fulton ALWAYS determines the winners and losers.

It's always been this way. Will always be this way.

They have not added a single vote to anyone's tally in the last hour.

In any case I get that Dems vote for Dems and Deplorables vote for Deplorables but the guy with 49 has to be at least a slight favorite over the woman with 18 in a run off.

there is apparently a data error on one or more cards but they don't know which one or ones it is. They have to manually determine which card or cards is the problem.

We have the winner here. Republicans are in charge of the voting machines, with no paper trail.
