The nation is still waiting as key states continue to tabulate absentee ballots to determine the country's next president.

Georgia is one of several key states with delays as election workers count nearly 200,000 more absentee ballots.  In addition to the absentee ballots, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says that there are still 40,000 to 50,000 more early ballots that need to be counted.

During a press conference this morning, Raffensperger continually repeated that "Elections matter" and "Every legal vote in Georgia will be counted" and stated that the process would be completed later today. He hopes that they can get the numbers so small that there can be clear winners in Georgia.

Along with the presidential results, many are also waiting on Georgia's U.S. Senate races. What we do know is that Senator Kelly Loeffler and Rev. Raphael Warnock will head to a runoff.  Senator David Perdue has a lead over Jon Ossoff; however, with ballots still being tabulated, the race won't be called until later Wednesday.
