So, two data points.

If there are 60,000 votes left, and 17,000 of them are still in Fulton, which will be 75% to 80% Biden, that would erase more or less all of the remaining Trump lead. Of course, this requires that you trust this reporter's math, but there it is.

They allow all mail in ballots received by then to be counted, and they don’t count any of them until then.

So him winning depends on him breaking 50% in the other counties.

Which he absolutely will, if the NYT numbers on outstanding vote are to be believed. Just Clayton County alone would get him there.

The main thing is we're aggregating data from a bunch of different sources and none of them are the official Georgia state reporting site. So I don't want to get carried away with it.

They explained why it takes so long last night on CNN. Basically there’s two sealed envelopes that contain each ballot then you need the machine to work the ballot so all in all- pretty time consuming basically.

House remains Democrat, but Republicans flip about 5 seats.

Senate is going to wind up being decided by two run-off elections in Georgia. Those will probably go to the Republicans, so the Senate will probably remain in GOP hands.

Senate is tied at 48 with 4 remaining.

House in 205-190 for Dems with 40 remaining.

If senate goes republican does it really matter if Biden wins then? Lame duck presidency. You need it all to enact change don’t you?

House Democrat.

Senate likely ends up 51 - 49 again. Georgias two senators are going to a January run off election.

Let’s be real here - the important thing for the sake of the world is sanity and stability from the White House.

Everything else can happen in its due course.

The next two years are going to be about controlling Covid and rebuilding international trust.

Well, I'd rather have Biden in there instead of a Trump/GOP Senate.

Next midterms are going to be huge.

In normal politics, a Dem House, GOP Senate, and Dem President could in theory work together and pass compromise bills and bi-partisan legislation. Moscow Mitch has made it clear going back to Obama's presidency that a Republican-controlled senate will be 100% obstructionist and pass nothing the Dems want.

So the most likely scenario is both the pandemic and recession worsen due to Republican senate intransigence, the American electorate erroneously blames "do nothing" Biden, and the GOP wins back control of the House in the 2022 midterms. It's all so sad and predictable.
