I don’t know that there is a clip only of that yet but you can see it at the link below. That link is a “live” feed but you can click back on the red progress bar.

Camden - 2017 election, European Parliament election and 2019 election. I haven’t lived in Camden since 2017 either - now in Kent. But Kent doesn’t seem to need any counters while Camden keeps calling me back! ---

It looks like both senate races in Georgia are going to a runoff. The guy who had over 50% has now dropped to below 50% which means an automatic runoff. That said I seriously doubt either republican will lose the runoff. Dems are super bad at turnout for those things and reps are pretty good. Still…they have to keep working for it. ---

> [@Max\_S](#): > > According to [pa.gov](https://www.votespa.com/About-Elections/Pages/Counting-Dashboard.aspx), as of 4:55 PM, > > 326,348 ballots remaining According to that page, the number of outstanding ballots they reported earlier was about 180K greater than what they’re saying now. If things keep coming in at the same split for Biden, he still wins. But it’s by a much smaller margin. Or maybe the discrepancy is ballots that were counted but not reported? Or the bigger count includes provisional ballots? ---
