According to the pundits on Twitter, the vast majority of the remaining vote is in pro-Jones areas.

That's what I thought
but
Jones will dominate the last 30% reporting

NYT analysis of live vote has Jones slightly ahead due to domination of whats left to count

I might have been a little premature only 2.5% now Jones is closing and may end up ahead.

Yes it appears to be a city/rural split with the cities always slower counting because of the larger number of ballots to count. I assume the cities have most of the black voters but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
