Polls in the state of Georgia closed at 7 PM EST. After hard fought battles both for the Georgia Governor’s position, as well as Senate seat, Americans are finally getting an idea of how well each candidate has done. The election results thus far for Georgia Senate, with only 1% of precincts reporting, indicate that The Republican Isakson, who is the incumbent, is leading Democratic candidate Thurmond 68% to 30%. Donovan rounds out the race with 2% of votes thus far.

In the Georgia Governor’s race, the Republicans are also ahead by quite a bit. Republican candidate Deal leads with 62% over Democrat Barnes with 34%, and Monds with 4%. Remember that only 1% of all votes have been counted, and despite the large leads by republicans in Georgia in the early going, the election could still go either way. Having said this, pre-election polls favored both Republican candidates heavily, going into today’s election.
