ニュース速報です。swing statesのひとつオハイオ州での勝利により、オバマ大統領は当選に必要な270の過半数を超えて、再選が確実になりました。

3大ネットワーク、CNN、NYTともに速報ではproject(pro-「前へ」+-ject「投げる」)という動詞を使っています。日本語では「再選が確実になった」あたりでしょうか。現在も開票作業が続いているからです。(UG)

President Obama Wins Re-election, The New York Times Projects

President Obama narrowly won Virginia over Mitt Romney, giving him at least 270 electoral votes, enough to win the presidency for another four years, The New York Times projects.

The race remains too close to call in Ohio and Florida. But with the addition of Virginia’s 13 electoral votes, as well as those of Colorado and Nevada, Mr. Obama has at least 285 electoral votes.

The Virginia race was always one of the closest in the nation and one that both camps said they needed to win in order to succeed in the presidential election.
