UPDATE: Effingham Precincts Reported
The SoS site is reporting eight of the nine unaccounted for precincts from Effingham County. Of a total of 10,726 votes, Max Burns has 7,993 votes (73.96 percent) and Barrow has 2,793 (26.04 percent). This leaves one precinct in Effingham unaccounted for. We are also not sure if the situation with the sealed ballots is fully resolved.
The final precinct from Washington County has also been reported. Burns won a total of 2,431 votes (46.39 percent) and Barrow won 2,809 votes (53.61 percent).
This means that with nine precincts and absentee ballots still withstanding, and 97.42 percent of the vote reported, Burns trails by 1,077 votes with 49.62 percent of the total vote to Barrow’s 50.38 percent.
If our previous numbers hold up, then Burns will have a net gain of roughly 438 votes from the remaining nine precincts. That would leave Barrow only about 600 votes up; or a difference of four-one-hundredths of one-percent. Once you add absentee ballots, then this election can certainly still swing either way.
But again, our numbers could be off and are only averages from the SoS site’s official reports.
We’ll continue to keep you updated.

John Barrow is going to win this thing!!!! I can’t wait until you Max lovers get the bad news!!!!! Go right on ahead and vote for someone who wants to raise our taxes….republicans really need to get out of office completely!!!
Alexus,
How truly insightful and appreciative of the Democratic system.
This is great!!!!
The longer Max wants to drag this thing out, the more painful it is to himself and his supporters who put out those signs full of lies yesterday.
Hate to use a poor analogy here, but I think Max is allowing himself to be shot in the stomach rather than something more humane like a hanging.
