It's official: Obama wins Florida
(MCT) — WASHINGTON — The final piece of the electoral map is now in place. After a four-day count, President Barack Obama has won Florida's 29 electoral votes with a squeaker of a margin.
With nearly 100 percent of the votes in, the Associated Press reports Obama had 50 percent to GOP challenger Mitt Romney's 49.1 percent. The difference, according to the Florida secretary of state, was nearly 740,000 votes. Only a few military and overseas ballots are believed to be uncounted.
