On the eve of the general election,  Mitt Romney is projected to win 295 electoral votes while Barack Obama would win in states worth 243 electoral votes, according the forecasting model using political contest horary in conjunction with polling trends of the 11 key swing states over the past 13 days.  The 11 key swing states are those won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
