Can you please explain this all to me.
I am embarrassed to say that I am not even sure what 80 percent reporting means. Or whatever percent.
I thought it meant a percentage of the people that voted.
Then someone mentioned districts. Then I saw precincts.
I’m lost :)
Thank you ahead of time if you reply. Annoying question, I know.
80% reporting means, of the votes cast, 80% have been tallied and reported.
The percentage of people voting is a different number, some people call it the percentage of participation.
Districts, precincts, all those things mean different things in different states. I don’t know that Georgia speaks about districts. We speak about counties, and the next level down is called the precinct.
A precinct is the place where you vote. In a small country town it may be one location. For a large city a precinct may be a couple of city blocks. So a large city could have hundreds of precincts.
