Gabriel Sterling, the voting systems implementation manager for the Georgia Secretary of State's office, gave an update on the state of the Senate runoff election this morning. There are “a little over 65,000 votes are still outstanding, mainly from the absentees that came in yesterday,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett, stressing that that number is an estimate.
The majority of the ballots coming in will be from traditionally Democratic areas of DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb and Henry Counties, Sterling said.
He said he expects to have a “very clear picture” of remaining votes by noon.
“We likely will see the leads of the Democrat challengers increase as we go through the morning,” he said.
