The seven key states that will have the biggest impact on the outcome of the presidential race will close their polling stations between 7 pm and 10 pm EST (8 am and 11 am Beijing time on November 6). Final results are expected to be announced as early as around 12 noon Beijing time as the state statistics are released. The details are: The initial winning trend will take shape after polling stations close at 7pm in Georgia (8pm Beijing time on November 6) and after 7.30pm in North Carolina (8.30pm Beijing time on November 6). If Harris performs well in these states, it may mean that she does not have to rely entirely on the slower "blue wall" states - Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Conversely, if Trump wins the two southern battleground states, Harris could still win through the "blue wall" states, but the results will be announced later. Polling stations in Michigan and Pennsylvania will close at 8 PM EST (9:00 Beijing time on November 6), Wisconsin and Arizona at 9:00 PM (10:00 Beijing time on November 6), and Nevada at 10:00 PM (11:00 Beijing time on November 6).
