If thousands are still in line, we could be seeing a lot of results later than official closing times, right?

2. Um, whenever they get counted?
Or is this a trick question of some sort?

4. Not meaning to be stupid...
I'm in Georgia and I'm seeing a lot of threads saying...when will we see the results/when do the polls close in x, y, and z states. Already several counties here have requested extended hours from the DOJ. I'm just thinking that a lot of people expecting to see results start coming in at 7:30-ish EST may end up being disappointed because there will many people still waiting to vote (and thus preventing full reporting from occurring).

:shrug:
