Election Results Florida: Mitt Romney Loses Key Swing State to President Barrack Obama

By

Three days after the results of Tuesday's Presidential Election, which resulted in the re-election of President Barrack Obama for his second term in office, the state of Florida revealed Saturday that president Obama won all 29 electoral votes of the state. Thus putting the finally score for him at 332 electoral votes, while former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney remains with 206 electoral votes.

According to the Associated Press, "No matter the outcome, Obama had already clinched re-election."

Prior to Florida's tally Obama was at 303. Ashley Walker, the Obama campaign's director for Florida told Associated Press, "Florida has spoken loudly in support of moving our nation forward."

Overseas military ballots for the election are still pending, the deadline for that is November 16, according to the AP.

Former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney was only two percent behind in the popular at 48 percent, while Obama was at 50 percent. The candidates needed a minimum of 270 to win.

So after months of long and hard campaigning, coupled by an acerbic rivalry, which came forth loud and clear during the three Presidential debates, the race is finally over.

When it comes to the congressional elections, the Republicans won the House and Democrats won the Senate. According to the finally tally, for the House the count is as follows: Republicans - 232 and Democrats 191, with a balance of power being 218; and for the Senate: Republicans 45 and Democrats 51, with a balance of power being 50.
