Kerry takes Wisconsin, CNN projects
4/11/2004 10:07
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry will win the votes of
battleground state Wisconsin, bringing the number of his electoral votes to 252
against 254 votes bagged by incumbent President George W. Bush, CNN projected
early on Wednesday.
Wisconsin gave the Massachusetts senator 10 crucial electoral votes as ballot
counting entered dead heat. Ohio, which holds 20 electoral votes and is thus set
to decide the election result, remains too close to call.
The Electoral College selects the president on the basis of results in each
state. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the White House.
