As the official counts get computed, turns out Obama actually won in Salt Lake County, UT (by just under 300 votes out of 350,000+ cast). This is the first time since 1964 (and before that 1948) that a Dem won the presidential race in Salt Lake!

So far, this seems to be the only post-election-night state capital switch from McCain to Obama. Any switches in the opposite direction?
