10:04: An important state goes to Feingold. We can project the state of Michigan's 16 electoral votes for the Governor. Romney was pushing to win the state again, but it seems that the candidate of labor has won out in the state. If he wins the very close state of Colorado, and wins the West Coast states he's expected to,

10:22: Good news for President Romney. He will win the state of North Carolina, worth 15 electoral votes. It has trended Democratic in recent years, and for the first time since 1976 went to Obama in 2008. However, it went for Romney in 2012, and will vote for him again this year.

10:30: Another projection for the President. He will win the Show-Me state of Missouri and its 10 electoral votes. If Feingold wins the election overall, he will have to win without Missouri, making him only the second Democrat in history to do so after Barack Obama.

Romney: 196
Feingold: 173

10:51: Just 9 minutes until more polls close, but before that we have one more projection, and it's a biggie. We can project that the state of Iowa's 6 electoral votes will go to Governor Feingold. This is an important state, and it looks like Feingold's strategy of leaning on his caucus victory has worked. This makes two states which Romney won in 2012 but lost tonight.

11:00: Polls are now closing in every state except California and Alaska. Now, usually California would be closing now as well. However, a federal judge has responded to problems of very high turnout in the state, which will remain open until midnight to give voters there a little extra time. In fact, there have been discussions tonight about having all states close their precincts an hour later than they did this year. However, other states have closed, and we have projections out of them.

We begin with Hawaii. 4 electoral votes, we can project the state to Governor Feingold. Not an upset in the slightest, and although Obama did better than usual due to his favorite son status, it looks like the Aloha State will be going hard for the Governor.

Idaho, also 4 electoral votes, goes to Romney. Strong Republican state, and since Romney is still popular there it's no surprise that this state is in his camp.

Oregon's 7 electoral votes are in the Feingold column. Though arguably the closest of the West Coast states, having voted for Obama by about 9% in 2012, it's still a relatively strong state for the Democrats, and not one seriously contested this year.

Going just up north, Washington also goes to Feingold. 12 electoral votes, and generally considered to be a bit more Democratic than Oregon, especially due to Seattle.

That puts the current standings at Romney with 200 electoral votes, and Feingold just ahead of him with 203. It's very close ri--hold on. I'm getting word that the AP has made a major projection that could very well be Romney's lifesaver. He will win the state of Virginia, worth 13 electoral votes. Romney's victory in the Old Dominion is a major victory, and brings him to 213 electoral votes. If he can win Ohio, Florida, and either Nevada or Colorado, he will win re-election.

11:05: And just as soon, the big states fall into place, and this one really hurts for Romney. We can project that the state of Ohio's 18 electoral votes will fall for Governor Feingold. It's voted with every winner of every election since 1960, and now it's close to impossible for Romney to catch up. He probably needs to win every state that's closed, and he'll have to win the strongly Democratic state of California. Unless it's a miracle, the president is on thin ice. Correspondents around the Romney campaign headquarters are saying that these results are just beginning to sink in for the President's team.

11:15:
We said that Romney is going to need almost every state to win, and so far he at least has 3 more electoral votes. Montana will vote for the President, but that still only brings him to 216 electoral votes to Feingold's 220.

11:39:
We do have good news for the President's last hopes of winning re-election. Florida, a massive state in this campaign, and the fourth most populated in the country, will vote for President Romney. Looking at the numbers there, he will win the state by about 1.5%. He made an effort here in the final days with a focus on Central Florida, and it's finally paid off.

MIDNIGHT: Polls have closed in California and Alaska, and as you may have guessed by now we finally have a projection for the final winner of the presidential election. Governor Russell Dana Feingold of Wisconsin will be the 46th President of the United States based on victory in the state of California. We have no official word from the Feingold campaign, but according to our sources the Romney team is awaiting the very final results in the state of Ohio. However, based on current returns we will keep our projection that the Buckeye state has voted for Feingold, but we will keep you updated on any events as well as results that are still outstanding in the Senate, as well as the two states where we still cannot make a projection, Nevada and Colorado.



Next update is the final results (as well as in the Senate and Gubernatorial races)
