Massive amount of the vote remaining is still Atlanta area early votes. Might not skew as blue as mail-ins, but still should be pretty reliably blue.
As Nate Cohn recently pointed out, the NYT needle isn't getting surprised at all tonight. Basically every chunk of votes that comes in almost exactly matches what their model is predicting for that chunk. And when it does miss, the actual votes are usually slightly benefiting Democrats. So that makes me slightly more confident about their prediction than I otherwise would be.
