Mitt Romney Wins South Carolina

Mitt Romney won South Carolina’s nine electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Democrat Barack Obama.

Despite the fact that hundreds are still waiting to vote in Richland County, which has been beset by delays all day, South Carolina has been called by NBC, ABC and NPR.

As results come in on South Carolina's seven congressional seats and the amendment to put the governor and lieutenant governor on the same ballot, follow those results here.

In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for the Republican candidate, and since the 1990s has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race three out of five times.

Romney and Obama did not campaign aggressively in South Carolina. The state has typically been a Republican stronghold in four decades of presidential elections.
