Trump currently ahead by 19,000. It does look like a lot still in blue counties, but I notice a lot of the surrounding red counties also have outstanding ballots.

50-60k

50k seems a bit tight, but if it's more on the high end, that changes things significantly

Actually this is a good point too. They don't live report them as they count, that's inefficient

This is what has driven me crazy in this election from a few states. They have taken the time to count how many mail-ins they received, but are inefficient at getting the result from them which matters.

Doesn't really matter because Georgia will be so close that it will almost assuredly get a recount.

And then nothing will change unless he's ahead by a few hundred votes

Explain why this "doesn't matter"

Recounts don't flip elections.

Uh, okay because if a recount is requested then the result won't be verified for at least another few days? So like if we see CNN today go, "BIDEN WINS GEORGIA." Then it gets recounted, it won't be confirmed for another few days thus making the claim and everyone waiting today for some headline a bit pointless. I didn't think this was a difficult concept to understand.

OK, so we wait longer. Auto recount is put there for fairness and transparency. If the count is that close, a recount is well worth it. Especially because after the fact we can point to it and say with conviction that the results stand.

Yep, I completely agree. If we get the same result twice, i.e., Biden wins or Trump wins both times, then we can say for certainty that the candidate has for sure won.
