Georgia state law requires that all ballots be received by 7pm November 3rd. There is no "postmark" clause, there is no "late arrival" clause, there is nothing. It's very straightforward. Which means that 11 hours later, when you see something like this:

Which means 99% of the ballots are COUNTED. The fact that those screenshots were taken seconds apart from each other, yet the POTUS race count is only based on 94% of the ballots is the nature of the question. They aren't counting measures then tossing the ballot to another pile to count elections. They're counting the entire ballot. Which means that as of this time, 99% of Georgia ballots are COUNTED. So why is the POTUS race number not updated?
The same issue can be seen in most states. Stop claiming you know something or are special. Answer the question, or shut the fuck up.
The numbers wrong. Plain and simple. I don't know what else to tell you. There are still many ballots left. Its why "estimated" is used during the entire process.

Georgia counting delays
In Georgia, where rules allowed for pre-processing, major counties nevertheless reported backups and sent workers home rather than finish counting overnight.
By 10:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, Fulton County -- which is the state's largest county and includes Atlanta -- had counted all in-person votes and stopped counting mail-in ballots for the evening. Officials there plan to resume counting the absentee ballots Wednesday at 8 a.m., Fulton County spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt told CNN.
Fulton County still has an estimated 48,118 absentee ballots left to count, and that doesn't include ballots received by mail on Tuesday. In neighboring DeKalb County, another Democratic stronghold, election officials there will count 79,000 absentee ballots by mail starting at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday.
Georgia ran into other issues too. A pipe burst early Tuesday morning at Atlanta's State Farm Arena above the processing room for all absentee ballots in Fulton County, delaying counting there, said county spokeswoman Regina Waller. No ballots were damaged, according to Waller.
A suspected problem with voting tabulation software has caused delays in the counting of as many as 80,000 mail-in ballots in Gwinnett County, which is east of Atlanta, according to a county spokesman. Officials believe the software erroneously identified flaws in the way voters filled out the ballots.
NYTimes has GA at 92% estimated.
