As previously predicted, President Barack Obama narrowly beat out governor Mitt Romney for Virginia’s 13 electoral votes.

According to election results in Virginia from huffingtonpost.com, Obama won with 50.8% of Virginian voters to Romeny’s 47.8%.  It seems that the majority of Virginian’s believe that the current president will do a better job helping the economy than his Republican rival.

Virginia was one of the most important battlegrounds in this election, so this victory will be a huge boost for the Obama camp.
