Even as the morning after an historic Election Day dawns with president-elect Barack Obama victorious over Sen. John McCain by a commanding margin, 338 to 158 electoral votes, the fate of North Carolina's 15 electoral votes remains unclear.
The NYT as well as the major networks show the total tally as too close to call, with Obama leading with the slimmest of margins, 49.8% to McCain's 49.6%. An absolute difference of less than 12,000 votes seperates the two candidates.
Indiana and Missouri have also been deemed to close to call, leaving 39 electoral votes up in the air.
