According to BlockBeats news on November 6, CNN reports that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is optimistic about predicting the winner of Georgia on election night. He stated that over 4 million early and mail-in ballots have been received and confirmed, and all this data must be uploaded and recorded within an hour after the polling stations close.

Most polling stations will close at 7 PM, so by 8 PM '99% of the data will likely be processed, and you'll have a rough idea of the election situation,' he added. 'All voting data from tonight will also be processed before the end of the day.'

Many small counties in Georgia are working to complete the vote counting by 10 or 10:30 PM. 'But by the end of the night, you will have all the results.' As of the time of this post, the local time in Georgia is 1:10 PM on November 5 (GMT-5).
