North Carolina goes for Romney

 At 11 p.m., it was announced that North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes would go to Mitt Romney. North Carolina was a swing state in this election and thus a vital win for Romney. It was a close race all night, but it is not much of a surprise that he won, as North Carolina usually votes Republican. However, in the 2008 election, North Carolina unexpectedly voted for Barack Obama.

But after President Obama’s win in Ohio, it proved that winning this swing state will not be enough for Romney — President Obama will be serving as President for the next four years.
