1. Does he win with 50.0001%

I think so. Over 50%.

11. He wins with 50% and 1 vote.

That's all it takes. He's at 50.76 last I looked.

2. Why do the #'s go steadily downward instead of fluctuating downward?

4. I believe because he did so well in early voting and election day voting was more balanced.

5. I suspect it has to do with early voting

Ossoff likely lead early voting substantially.

12. Conservative Cubb county has 73% reporting, DeKalb 67%, Fulton only 16%

So let's see if Fulton can turn things around again to climb over 50% in case it drops below 50% soon.

In 2016, Fulton had 46.4% voting for Clinton, 48.9% for Trump.
