(詳細は2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Florida voters chose 29 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Several counties in the state suffered delays in finalizing their votes. This was caused in part by a high turnout, as well as a large number of absentee ballots to count, though some (international) media are responded that 'foul play' might be involved.〔(2 Days After Election Florida Still Counting Votes )〕〔('Obama wint ook in Florida' ) (in Dutch)〕〔(Barack Obama closes in on Florida vote victory )〕 As of November 8, the voting had still not concluded. However, with much of the remaining vote still coming in from heavily Democratic areas, Mitt Romney's Florida campaign acknowledged that Romney had lost the state to Barack Obama. In order to certify the election in Florida, the ballots continued to be counted. Both Miami-Dade and Broward County completed their ballot counts on November 8, leaving Palm Beach and Duval counties as the only two that did not have a final count at the end of the day. Florida required all counties to finish counting by noon Saturday, but would not announce an official winner until the votes were certified on November 20. A recount is not done unless the difference is less than 0.5%. At 11 PM EST on November 9, the margin for Obama was 0.86%, with all but one county finished with their counting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Florida May Have Election Results By Noon Saturday )〕〔 On November 10, most major news sources projected Obama to be the winner of Florida's 29 electoral votes. It was the last state to be called in the 2012 presidential election, and was also the closest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=It's official: Obama wins Florida )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obama wins Florida, topping Romney in final tally )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obama's final win in Florida gives him 332 electoral votes )〕 Barack Obama ultimately carried the state of Florida with 50.01% of the vote, to Mitt Romney's 49.13%, a margin of 0.88%. Having also won the state in 2008, Obama's 2012 victory made him the first Democratic president since Franklin Roosevelt to carry Florida for the Democrats in two consecutive presidential elections. == Republican primary == The Republican primary was held on January 31, 2012. Fifty delegates were at stake, none of them RNC (or super) delegates; it is unclear whether these delegates will be allocated proportionally or winner-take-all. Originally awarded 99 delegates,〔 the Republican National Committee removed half of Florida's delegates because the state committee moved its Republican primary before March 6; the Republican National Committee rules also set the delegate allocation to be proportional because the contest was held before April 1.〔 〕 It is a closed primary.〔 There were 4,063,853 registered Republican voters as of January 3, 2012. Florida is spread over two time zones, so voting wasn't completed until 7 pm CST/8pm EST.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Florida Department of State – Election Results )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States presidential election in Florida, 2012」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
