841
+ <p>Mr Obama has won swing states Michigan and Pennsylvania, as well as many others he won in 2008.</p>
842
+ <p>Mr Romney, a Republican, took North Carolina and Indiana from Mr Obama, as well as other solid Republican states.</p>
843
+ <p>Tens of millions of voters cast ballots on Tuesday. The winner could be declared shortly as more swing states begin reporting results.</p>
844
+ <p>Pre-election polling suggested a neck-and-neck race but gave the president a slender lead in some swing states.</p>
845
+ <p>Polling stations began closing in eastern states at 18:00 EST (23:00 GMT), with the crucial states of Virginia and Ohio closing at 19:00 EST and 19:30 EST respectively.</p>
846
+ <p>The race in Florida, which is considered critical especially to Mr Romney, remains too close to call with more than 90% of precincts reported.</p>

1032

1042
