Dunno about Georgia, but Indiana and Kentucky have *very* early
closing times (I think I remember 5:30 pm Eastern) and have done so
for years.  Right now, the networks are killing time until the west
coast polls close.  At about 10:01 our time, I expect that they'll
instantaneously call California and Washington for Kerry (for a total
of 66 EVs) and then Minnesota soon after, to give us a nearly "even"
race.
And then they'll mess around for another 20 minutes and call Oregon
and Hawaii for Kerry, giving him a tiny lead in the electoral college,
and then drag out the hard states for the next 5 hours.
