The Associated Press declared Obama the winner after canvassing counties in North Carolina to determine the number of outstanding provisional ballots. That survey found that there are not enough remaining ballots for Republican John McCain to close a 13,693-vote deficit.
North Carolina's 15 electoral votes brings Obama's total to 364 ? nearly 100 more than necessary to win the White House ? to McCain's 162. Missouri is the only state that remains too close to call, with McCain leading by several thousand votes.
So, unless there is a real flip in Missouri the final tally for Obama is 364.
