Only some 18,000 votes now separate the candidates in the gubernatorial race in Georgia from a runoff, while one Georgia seat in Congress only needs some 500 votes to flip.

How much can the results still change, more than a week after the election, depends on how federal judges view thousands of rejected votes.
