This is based on their proprietary “ Edison ” data source which would ordinarily be impossible to access for people outside the press .

Raffensperger held a news conference Friday morning to give an update on the tallying of votes in the state, saying that the results have been and will remain extremely close.
As a result, he said, there will be a recount.
According to Raffensperger, there are still 8,890 military ballots outstanding that will be counted if they are returned by the close of business Friday and were postmarked Nov. 4.
Out of 5 million votes cast, the margin will be only a few thousand, he predicted.
The secretary said the state said the race is still too close to call.
“With a margin that small, there will be a recount in Georgia,” he said, adding, “The stakes are high, and emotions are high on all sides. We will not let those debates distract us from our work. We will get it right, and we’ll defend the integrity of our election.”- READ MORE

Barr’s memo reportedly encouraged prosecutors to begin an investigation into the substantial alleged voter fraud surrounding the 2020 general election, according to CNN. Barr okayed prosecutors to begin interviewing witnesses, an action that would typically require permission from the elections crimes department.
“While most allegations of purported election misconduct are of such a scale that they would not impact the outcome of an election and, thus, investigation can appropriately be deferred, that is not always the case,” Barr said in the memo.

Weeks of internal discussion preceded Barr’s memo, according to CNN. Senior officials reportedly thought the changes were a bad idea, according to someone familiar with the matter.
