~2,500 votes separate Biden from Trump in Georgia as of 9 p.m. There are thousands of ballots we know about still to be counted AND more provisionals, military/overseas and cured ballots, no clue how many. All of these are legal votes, by the way. #gapol

337 more votes. 1,797 margin now in Georgia. The 2020 writer's room is determined to stretch this out, but a reminder that this is how elections always work, with a similar timeline and pace! But patience will get us through, because all the votes will be counted.
