Update: Fox has called Ohio for Obama, effectively handing him the election. But Karl Rove is strongly protesting that call, arguing that a quarter of the vote remains to be counted in Ohio and it’s still too close to call. Rove and the Romney campaign argue that they can still win the state. So stay tuned. I’ve turned OH from blue to purple to reflect the dispute.
