John McCain is projected to win North Dakota (3 electoral votes) and Wyoming (3 electoral votes). Sen. Barack Obama is projected to win Michigan (17 electoral votes), Minnesota (10 electoral votes), New York (31 electoral votes), Rhode Island (4 electoral votes) and Wisconsin (10 electoral votes). Races in Indiana, Virginia, Colorado and Florida remained too close to call. The current electoral vote tally: Obama: 175 McCain: 40 (link)
