Oh ok so they do count ahead. So I guess that means there's as much risk of a blue mirage tonight.
So, in short: we don't fucking know anything yet!

Oh ok so they do count ahead. So I guess that means there's as much risk of a blue mirage tonight. So, in short: we don't fucking know anything yet! When will we know the results? The Georgia State Election Board extended some emergency provisions from the November election, like keeping drop boxes in place for absentee ballots. Some of the rules were tweaked to encourage a faster count, which would enable the winners to be seated sooner. The new Congress was already sworn in on Sunday. Counties were required to begin scanning and processing ballots at least a week before the election, though they cannot begin counting or tabulating them until polls close on Tuesday. Those new rules may lead to quicker results, although in a close race most Georgians (and everyone else) may go to sleep before news outlets have enough results to declare a winner. In November, it took a week and a half of counting after Election Day before it was clear that Mr. Biden had won the state. Republicans are expected to command an early lead on election night, both because the more conservative areas of the state typically report results faster and because votes cast in person, which have favored Republicans during the pandemic, are typically released earlier. Heavily Democratic counties, including the suburban Atlanta areas that helped Mr. Biden win, historically take longer to count votes.

I’m trying to follow along while I cook dinner. Then I’ll fully immerse myself afterwards with a drink.

Fair number of rural counties not hitting 90% turnout from the November election, which is good. But there's still too much out to know if there will be surprise Election Day GOP turnout elsewhere.
