Georgia polls close at 7 PM EST so Georgia could be one of the first states called and a solid win for Clinton there could be a strong indicator of a Clinton landslide.

(14,565 posts)Guaranteed. The Democratic areas like Atlanta always report late, so the networks are always cautious in calling Georgia. There were some late rallies in the '90s.
Even when the Republican won by moderate margin the state has been listed as "too close to call" at 7 PM.
Georgia is becoming more of a possibility each cycle but it's still very early, and won't happen without a massive Hillary verdict nationwide. She would probably need to win by low double digits nationwide to barely carry Georgia.
Besides, as I used to emphasize on this site all the time, Georgia polling is flat out terrible. It overstates the Democratic candidate almost without exception. Either the models are wrong or the people/companies doing the polling are simply inferior to the level of other states. Georgia and Alaska are the worst polled states, during the 20 years I've wagered on politics.

(44,173 posts)She'd have to have won the state exit poll by like 10 points, which is not likely.
On the other hand, if she wins the Virginia exit poll by double digits, the networks could call it for her right at 7pm (when their polls close too).
