He polled HIGH in Atlanta. REAL High.

Exit polls. Must've been very disproportionately for him.

Ah Georgia Polls coming in now on Politico.com

I think he'll win but how do they know w/64% of the vote? Weird.

It's not just what you see on Politico. It's the exit polls, the information they have before hand, and the actual votes coming in combined.

Yeah, the idea is that they sample exit voters to get exit polls. When results trickle in, they update their statistics to account for the new data -- if there's a large enough spread, and little variance between the two, they'll call it.
