What can we expect as polls begin to close on the East Coast?

It is Election Day in America, with tens of millions of voters going to the polls and probably even more than that anxiously awaiting the results. KCBS will have complete coverage with all the returns, beginning when the first polls close on the East Coast. The polls close in six states at 4:00 our time and we will probably be able to project some winners almost immediately. Those states include Georgia, one of the battlegrounds, and Virginia, which is not a swing state but could offer some insight into what’s going to happen. We don’t expect to be able to estimate the winner in Georgia right away, though. We are also watching the data from exit polls, of voters after they come out of the polling place and also some who voted by mail or early, and that could be illuminating as well. And of course, the polls don’t close here in California until 8:00, so get out and vote if you haven’t already, we may know by then who’s won the presidency….or it could take a couple of days to count enough votes. More on today's State of California, hosted by KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS news anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising.
