President Barack Obama will be re-elected after reaching 270 electoral votes in the 2012 presidential election. And he did without any of the 15 electoral votes North Carolina had.
The polls closed in the state at 7:30 p.m., and it remained a very tight race all the way until the end. Mitt Romney received 2,271,415 votes to President Obama’s 2,175,557. Romney received 54 percent of the support from men, while Obama received 51 percent support from women.
North Carolina maintains its identity as a Republican state. When Obama won North Carolina in 2008, he was the first Democratic candidate to win the state since former President Jimmy Carter in 1976.
