It’s official: McCain won Missouri — by fewer than 4,000 votes

Posted on 20 November 2008 by Antonio D. French

Missouri was the last state to certify its Presidential election results, but yesterday it became official: John McCain won the state’s 11 electoral votes, defeating President-Elect Barack Obama by less than 4,000 votes.

The results snap Missouri’s long-standing streak in siding with the winner of the Presidential race. The last time MO went with the loser was 1956.
