The networks and newspapers have called the election for Sen. Barack Obama, who won a historic victory with more than 300 electoral votes.
The immigrant vote might have played a role in netting him a handful of decisive states. The race was close in Virginia, and large Latino populations were leaning toward Obama in Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico. Florida’s Latinos seem to be trending blue, as News 21 reporters predicted. North Carolina is too close to call as of 11:43 Tuesday night, but Latino votes might wind up counting there too.
The Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader has called the race in Pennsylvania’s 11th District for Rep. Paul Kanjorski. His defeat of anti-illegal immigration mayor Lou Barletta owes a lot to the economic crisis, not to mention a last minute visit by Bill Clinton last night.
