President Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from President Obama attacking Romney’s business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama’s handling of the economy. The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges …
Voters in Florida still have questions surrounding who gets the state's 29 Electoral votes.
President Barack Obama appeared on the road to re-election when he was declared the winner in Ohio. But a victory in the state of Florida was considered essential in order for Gov. Mitt Romney to win the seat. The eyes of the nation remained on Florida overnight as the margin between the candidates here remained less than 1 percent with many votes left to be counted. A recount in the state would be mandatory if the margin is one-half of 1 percent or smaller once all votes are counted. A recount would be easier than in 2000. Florida no longer uses punch-card ballots. All counties now use electronic voting systems. In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for the Democratic candidate, and since the 1990s has voted for the overall …

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has carried Pasco County.
The results are in and Pasco County has named its choice for the White House. Former Gov. Mitt Romney has taken the county with 52.5 percent of the vote. A total of 110,563 ballots were cast in Romney’s favor within Pasco County. Democratic President Barack Obama came in second with 96,360 ballots cast in his favor, which works out to 45.81 percent, according to the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Office.

In 2008, Pasco voters favored Republican challenger John McCain, giving him 51.07 percent, or 110,104 of the votes cast. Obama garnered 102,417 or 47.51 …
Kim Bogart's campaign has come to an end and the Democrat says he won't seek the Pasco County Sheriff's seat again.
Pasco County Sheriff candidate Kim Bogart was hosting a watch party in the kitchen of his New Port Richey area home Tuesday night when it became clear voting wasn't going in his favor. Bogart’s most recent bid to become Pasco County’s top cop came to an end even before it was reported that votes from all precincts in Pasco had been tallied. Bogart, 60, is a former captain and major with the Pasco sheriff’s office. He hoped to oust incumbent Sheriff Chris Nocco. He ran his campaign this election season under the slogan "Public Safety, Not Politics." But early voting and absentee results alone, projected on a TV in Bogart’s home, showed Nocco was gaining the upper hand on Election Night by a large margin. Then precinct numbers started …
Pasco County voters will continue to pay an extra cent in sales taxes.
When Pasco County voters went to the polls today, they were asked if they are willing to continue paying a 1-cent sales tax to fund school construction projects, transportation programs and other infrastructure-related ventures.
