Jones currently needs to get 59% of the remaining vote in Georgia to catch Jackson. While the race is still tightening, Jones is currently not getting what he would need in the remaining Election Day vote to pass Jackson.

In Oconee County, where the counting is complete, the early in-person vote went to Jackson, 58%-42%, over Jones. But Jones won the Election Day vote, 57%-43%, over Jackson. This is similar to what we're seeing in counties across the state, meaning this race could tighten.
