I lived in Gwinnett county for twenty years, it is not heavily Democrat, 50/50 at best.
They just released Gwinnett County ballots, and they went heavily Biden. Mail in ballots have skewed heavily towards Biden.
New numbers at 5:07 PM EST. : Biden's lead is 4,263 votes, with today as the deadline for the military provisional ballots, 8,000 of which could be counted.
Trump would need all of them to be returned, and for him to win over half of them. Fewer arriving means a higher percentage in Trump's favor needed to win. Very unlikely all 8,000 will arrive within the deadline.

Didn’t used to be, also Cobb used to be Republican majority.
Both are now solid D.
Yes it used to be, back in the 1990s. Not in 2020. Douglas County used to be Republican. Not since 2008. Henry and Rockdale counties used to be Republican. Not anymore. Things have changed.

Yep, I remember when the only reliably D counties in Atlanta were Fulton, Dekalb, and Clayton.

It is far more than half of them. If Trump is down by 4263, he'd need:
Trump needs 6132 of the 8000
Biden would get 1868 of the 8000
That is a 77/23 split for Trump.
Is it possible? Sure. But it is far more than half. Half would net him nothing against Biden's margin.

And that's only assuming that the normally Republican military members remained in support of Trump. Remember he had put a few noses out of joint by badmouthing veterans, generals, and John McCain in the past. That and instances such as the fiasco with Thomas Modly and the handling of the USS Theodore Roosevelt could have put a damper to support for the president among certain military members. I'm no psychic or mind reader but I think it is premature to assume Trump will easily win most or all military votes.
That 4,000 (if it sticks) is a big deal, it's uncommon but there have been recounts that could have put a lead of under 1,000 in jeopardy. No recount has ever come anywhere near a 4,000 vote shift.
