Georgia voters have until 7 p.m. to cast their Election 2012 ballots, but voting in key swing states ends as much as two hours after that, and exit polling could provide an early indication of whether President Obama or Mitt Romney wins the White House.
The earliest key state to watch for is Virginia, where polls close at 7 p.m. E.T.
Voting ends 30 minutes later in swing states Ohio and North Carolina. At 7 p.m. swing states Florida, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire close their polls.
Nevada, the final swing state that could prove as pivotal as Iowa, closes its voting at 10 p.m. E.T.
As long as you make it to the polls by 7 p.m., you'll be able to vote in Georgia. They won't close the lines until the last voter has cast his or her ballot.

I'm not paying attention to the exit polls. I dont think the polls were really able to grasp an accurate picture this go round. Looking at the numbers of voter turn out in each party doesn't say what it did years ago, as many will be voting across party lines this election.(well, with the exception that there are more republicans voting and less democrats voting, those numbers might speak for something of substance) That may end up being the true November surprise ;)

We will know fairly early that OBAMA has won the electorial vote.The key states to watch early are Virginia and Florida.North Carolina may be a surprise.Five Eight Three polling give Romney a 76% chance but my sources tell me that Obama killed them on voter registration and early voting.We will see.
