With Florida’s results now counted, the final election tallies are nearly complete: According to the current estimate, President Obama beat Mitt Romney with a 3% margin in the popular vote and a 21% margin in the Electoral College. This electoral-to-popular vote ratio was the 4th highest since 1900. The result reinforces the message that anyone who reads Nate Silver knows all too well: It’s not enough just to win more votes, because you also have to win the right votes.
