IOWA (6 electoral votes)
Returns in other battleground states with earlier poll closings may render Iowa’s six electoral votes moot. Still, in a tight national race with less than 2 percent separating Obama and Romney in the state, both candidates have made a big play to win there. After supporting Obama in its 2008 Democratic caucuses, Iowa stayed with Obama in the general election. Polls close at 10 p.m. Eastern.
