voting that began on the 26th, saturday the 26th, and concluded on december the 2nd. and so we do have those numbers, but we can t begin the tabulation process obviously until the conclusion of voting on election day. so how soon will we seee of those first numbers start to come out from today? from today it will probably be about 7:45, maybe around 8:00. we have 147 precincts across cobb county. once the poll managers and the poll workers close down those locations, they will then bring all of their equipment back. but they also bring media, memory cards that have the tabulation on there. i want to ask you if there s any, you know, issues that you saw today. but first kind of walk me through what we re seeing behind here. because this is pretty fascinating for the viewer. fascinating s a very good word for it. but it s very busy. so this is essentially this area here is where we are scanning absentee ballots. and so i shared with you earlier when we had an opportunity to tal
all the broadcast networks. that has now been corrected and you have the current cobb county vote total. all right. thank you. what is the actual number? this is the cobb county number we have so far. 67% to 33%, a much smaller number here. in the age we live in, everything should be triple and quadruple checked, of course, fed into the system because of the conspiracies and the mistrust out there. this is a good number now. it has been solid. that means senator warnock in the early vote in a key democratic county has the big lead. so if we go back in time one month ago, he got 57% in cobb county. that was the final. that was the final number. this is the early number. if he stays there, then he s reelected. we expect more. if senator warnock stays above 60% in cobb county, he s likely will be reelected. we have a ways to go.
in-person voting, such that we had more individuals here in cobb county as well as across the entire state that voted advance in-person during the runoff as opposed to the advanced in-person numbers during the general election. the last question i have, a tight turnaround for you guys. you had nine weeks from the runoff. this time four weeks. how are you guys doing? we re hanging in. reporter: i appreciate it. you go get back to work. john, we ll throw it back to you. please thank her for us for the hard work that she and all of the election workers do. so important. let s go to david chalian now. give us more perspective on the votes that are in so far. reporter: yeah. so here is the state of play at the moment. you see raphael warnock with 539,822 votes. herschel walker, 435,004 votes. we think about 35% of the overall vote has been tabulated and is represented here. but here s what s important to
votes came in and it was a much larger vote total than we anticipated. and so we did some double-checking and with the system, the national election poll that provides the vote counting you re seeing all night long to all the broadcast networks, there was a reporting error. it s a human being process here. so the reporter on the ground mistakenly reported the wrong numbers. now, you and john at the wall have the correct cobb county numbers. you will see a lower vote total overall than anticipated because we have double checked all of these numbers to make sure what is now in our system is indeed the cobb county total that has been reported. and we want it to be transparent and clear with everyone the at home who was tracking the vote while you were talking about cobb county. that error in reporting from on the ground in cobb county, again, feeds into the system that feeds these vote reports to
