Cobb County Communications Director Ross Cavitt told the Courier in an email that there are 61,500 ballots yet to be scanned into the results, and that the number of ballots that were mailed in or dropped off now stands at 105,000.

In an earlier email Cavitt announced that additional counting locations were created.

The email stated:

Good Morning.  Cobb County Elections continues to count absentee ballots today.  We had received in excess of 90,000 absentee ballots by 7 pm Tuesday.  We expect to update the exact number later on this morning.
