Election 2020: Day 63, 11pm

It has been an exciting night of result-watching in the Georgia Senate runoffs. At this point in time, with approximately 98% of the vote having been counted, Warnock has a 35K vote lead (50.6-49.4) over Loeffler, while Perdue has a 2K vote lead (50.0-50.0) over Ossoff. However the remaining vote outstanding is believed to largely be early vote from metropolitan Atlanta counties. The New York Times’ election forecast model believes strongly that both races will go Democratic. Right now Warnock’s lead is outside the recount threshold. Heading to bed for now, but there’s certainly cause for Democrats to be optimistic.
