Obama wins re-election
Romney wins in Bureau County
After a long and often contentious campaign, President Barack Obama won re-election in Tuesday's race.
With 270 electoral votes needed to win, Obama had 303 to Republican Gov. Mitt Romney's 206. He won the hotly-contested swing states including Ohio, Virginia and Colorado. As of Wednesday morning, Florida remained still too close to count, although the president was holding on to a 45,000 vote edge.
Obama also won the popular vote, 59,697,251 to Romney's 57,074,675 as of Wednesday morning.
