looking good for sure, but there is no predicting until everything is counted. No point getting worked up, whatever happens, happens. Just keep your fingers crossed.

Trump seems up a little from 2020 in the red counties but kamala looks to be up from Biden in a lot of the blue counties. Still a coin flip at this point

There are about 15 rural counties that have fully reported, and these are counties where trump won handily in 2020 and was hoping to increase his win this time around. It looks like in most cases he has. But it also looks like (and I haven't had a chance to look at them all) the turnout is lower, which means his net gain in votes from these counties might not be as significant. So if Harris can still gain ground in the urban/suburban counties she's got a chance.

and then the votes from Atlanta came in and we pulled ahead. Something similar could be happening here, but it's probably going to be razor thin close again.
