A top election official in Georgia’s Secretary of State’s office said the voting results will be mostly complete by 8 p.m. ET during the Nov. 5 contest.

Georgia Deputy Elections Director Michael Barnes said in an on-camera interview Monday that “come eight o’clock tomorrow night, we may have a very good picture of what the results might be.”
