Obama won NC in 2008

And he won IN

 

[Mrs_Sally]

Romney wins SC, Georgia, WV, and Indiana. Next big round of polls closing at 8:00. People still in line voting in VA and OH. State laws say they get to vote. VA and NC too close to call, not a good sign for Romney.

Yes, in VA you need to be in line at poll ‘closing’ time and you can still vote. Lines are long, so I don’t expact all the voting to finish until 8pm and then the tallying begins. I just heard Gov. McDonnell say he expected the state to go for Romney but in a close race.

He would have to win WI, IA and CO to offset a Ohio losd

Frankly, I really don’t see Romney winning Wisconsin.

Frankly, I really don’t see Romney winning Wisconsin.

I hope he doesn’t need to

FL and especially OH are key. If Romney doesn’t win OH, it will be very hard for him to win enough electoral votes to win the presidency.

I believe Obama is ahead in Ohio, not by much but I think he will win that state…

Polls are now closed in Ohio

Due to long lines, VA not reporting until 8pm. Red counties coming in now. Obama won Prince William. He cannot carry the state without it.

You only need to win by one

Romney won GA

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

Florida has swung to Obama by 0.6%. Looks like Johnson is siphoning votes from Romney there. Obama also significantly ahead in South Carolina so far.

Fox News projects Romney wins Georgia.

You heard it here first -Obama wins DC

Romney was won SC. What are you basing this on?

Apparantly somebody said on twitter

Lines in Republican counties in Florida are still hours long. Voters can vote as long as they are in line

 

[jwinch2]

Well that worked.

Let me try it again

Romney wins the Presidency!

From your mouth to God’s ears. I pray you are correct.

Here are the times polls close in the battlegrounds (remember people still in line usually are able to vote):

7 p.m. ET to 8 p.m.: Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina
8 p.m. ET to 9 p.m.: Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire
9 p.m. ET to 10 p.m.: Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota
10 p.m. ET to 11 p.m.: Iowa, Nevada

Romney hasn’t won South Carolina yet. Obama is ahead 63% to 35% based on the votes counted so far. The claim that Romney had won was a premature projection.
