Yes. yes they can.
And the R senate can tell the D president to go pound sand when he/she makes that demand.

I think there’s also one in NC and maybe other states. The southern half of Cherokee, where I live, will be changing like Cobb has the last 10 years. The northern half is full of good old boys, Confederate flags and lots of Trump supporters.

I heard it was because they had some of the mail-in ballots ready to go - not sure how accurate that is.
Do they know what counties the mail in and early votes are in? The ones still to be counted?

They can open and scan absentee ballots before the polls close--they just don't release results. Early voting results are also available relatively quickly.
The cynic in me just assumes urban areas hold back vote totals until they know how many votes they need

I simply installed a bunch of Firesticks on the backs of a bunch of the machines. I'll wait a couple hours and then simply call out to my Echo: "Alexa, steal Georgia Special Election"

Or counting 500,000 votes is harder than 5,000The cynic in me just assumes urban areas hold back vote totals until they know how many votes they need

In fact, fir this election (as opposed to November), they are required to do so by a regulations change at the voting board. t least according to some dude on Twitter.

Yup. Just like your want the return leg at home in CL knockout stage.The cynic in me just assumes urban areas hold back vote totals until they know how many votes they need

Right, and I think that explains the initial dump. I just don't get how Dekalb is sitting at 37%. I think they started pretty quickly at 29%.
Meanwhile the election lines took forever because some jack### was watching Netflix instead of voting...

Next big election, the TV news networks should move to displaying Needle-like graphics including on the chyron instead of just updating raw votes and percentages over and over.

I'm not sure. I assumed the first dumps were the mail in and possibly some early votes with the election day later. That is the opposite of say PA in the general election b/c they didn't start counting the mail in til election day.

Yes although they were more accurate than the polls leading up to the election. To your point, they can get a little emotionally driven as the counting is done.
It's up to 90% now, btw

Tomorrow has always been about show, and not substance.
Trump is hoping a large number of supporters are gathered outside - and he wants to bask in their adulation. And, many of the rogue congresspeople are hoping to hitch a ride on Trump coattails with said crowd,

This is where we stop the counting, right? Anything counted from here on out is fraudulent.

Yep. I read that on the Internet, Tucker said it and, most importantly, President Trump confirmed. So brazen of them to do it again so soon!The cynic in me just assumes urban areas hold back vote totals until they know how many votes they need

IMO this is way more about the mail in ballots and Abrams' ability to get that established than it is Trump. Go back in time and look at raw vote margins in those ATL metro counties. Without that shift Perdue never comes close to facing a runoff and Loeffler would be winning tonight.
There is a significant amount of the early votes left to be counted (10% of total votes) The Rs leading early votes counted so far, but, some of the predicting sites seem to think those remaining will come in heavily for the Ds. Trying to understand if that's true or not.
If I were ranking the 4 candidates - I would have had Warnock at the 1 seed and Loeffler at the 4 seed - so this is not surprising.

I could see Cruz doubling down, calling for investigations into all 3 Georgia results.
Also, Loeffler gets to remain in the Senate for a few more days at least, so if she loses she will have no incentive to back off.

I think it's the fact Dekalb is sitting at 37%. I mean are the doors shut and lights off there? They started pretty much at 29%.

There was a great story about a guy who cleaned up shorting QAnon theories on these sites. Basically he'd hunt for weird bets, then go research to see if it was something being talked about on the usual suspect websites, and bet the other way. Think @Otis in the FFA in 2012, but on a grander scale.

sort of. the gambling sites preyed on Trump bettors who saw the initial votes come in and went nuts. the sites couldn't make the odds bad enough to deter them from betting, so once they figured out that they could get Trump bettors to bite on anything, they cleaned up. Maurile posted a good article about it last week. I'll see if I can find it.
here's the story: link

Starting the drumbeat for "voting fraud concern" on FOX right now. Poll watchers were too far away.
Someone reporting on CNN just said of the Democrat county of DeKalb which has only 37% reported a lot of the votes to be counted are still early votes
