Barack Obama Wins Connecticut
Voters in Connecticut on Tuesday cast their ballot for Barack Obama, giving him the state's seven Electoral votes.
Barack Obama won Connecticut’s seven electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney.
In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for the Democratic candidate, and since the 1990s has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race 3 out of 5 times.
Romney and Obama did not campaign aggressively in Connecticut. The state has typically been a Democratic stronghold in recent presidential elections.
