The sources do not show a 78,000-vote Perdue margin over Ossoff in Fulton County with 13 precincts left. Fulton's official report shows Ossoff ahead of Perdue by about 217,000 votes, and the AJC's statewide snapshot shows Perdue about 200,500 ahead, not 78,000.

What was said
… Is Asaf a legitimate or illegitimate senator, sir? Did he did that he actually win that election, or was that also stolen? Steve, I think I can answer that question with the Secretary of State's own report. If you go to our voterga.org studies tab and you look on page 18, you'll see the election results from the morning after the election, and they show that, at that point in time, 158 of 159 counties were had reported, only 13 precincts left to report in Fulton County, and John Ossoff's opponent, David David Perdue, the sitting senator of David Perdue, had a 78,000 vote margin over his, over the runoff margin, so he had 78,000 excess votes, ah, over what he needed, ah, what Ossoff would have needed to even cause a runoff. That's with 13 precincts left. That's only a few thousand votes left to count. …

Contradicts. Fulton County's official November 2020 Election Summary Report shows Ossoff with 363,269 votes and Perdue with 146,466 in Fulton, an Ossoff lead of about 217,000, which cannot be reconciled with a Perdue lead of 78,000 with only 13 precincts outstanding.[2][3]
Contradicts. Politifact's fact-check rates the claim that the Senate runoff and election were stolen as Pants on Fire, noting that Perdue lost to Ossoff and that the results were certified by state officials.[1]
Context. The AJC's November 4, 2020 snapshot shows Perdue leading Ossoff statewide by about 200,500 votes and 46,909 above the 50% mark, a statewide figure that matches neither the claimed 78,000 nor a Fulton County margin.[5]
Context. Early-count snapshots from the Washington Post and Columbus Monthly show statewide Perdue leads that were later reversed as remaining ballots were counted, so the claimed Fulton snapshot figure is not directly reported in any source.[4][6]
