President Trump's lead in Georgia has shrunk as more votes continue to be tallied in Fulton County, home to Atlanta, CNN's Wolf Blitzer said this evening.
"Trump's lead has shrunk to 47,000 votes. Trump has 49.9%. Biden has 48.9%. Georgia, 16 electoral votes, it's now down to 47,111 votes, it keeps getting smaller and smaller that lead, and we're waiting now, bracing for a whole bunch of new numbers to come in," Blitzer said.
Despite what Trump may think, there aren't any "nefarious things going on" with the vote counting process in places like Fulton County, CNN's John King said.
"Republicans and Democrats and independents [are] in every one of these rooms across America, red state, and blue states counting the votes," King said.
"In these predominantly Democratic counties, populous counties, Atlanta, Fulton County, 10% of the vote statewide, will come out of this one county, we'll get more votes later today."
