Four days after the presidential election, the electoral map is now complete.

Florida has declared a winner for its 29 electoral votes - with 50.01 percent of the votes newly reelected President Obama carried the state. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney got 49.13 percent of the votes. Nearly 74,000 votes separated the two candidates.

The Florida win brought Obama electoral votes to 332 and Romney's remained at 206.

In addition to Florida, Obama won nearly all of the swing states - Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. Romney carried North Carolina.

Ohio's 18 electoral votes were all too important for Obama and Romney. Romney would have had to win, according to history, Ohio to secure his place in the White House and history proved right.

Ohio was carried by Obama and Romney picked up West Virginia and North Carolina's 20 electoral votes.

Obama racked up 116 electoral votes from Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois (Obama's home state), Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts (Romney's home state), Michigan, New Hampshire (Romney's home state), New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C.

Obama got 53 electoral votes from Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Wisconsin (GOP VP nominee Paul Ryan's home state).
