Red State - Blue State - Purple State

Good to know.

From DailyKos:

Alabama: 787,072
Arizona: 707,744
Georgia: 1,745,283
Idaho: 209,456
Indiana: 1,134,577
Kansas: 426,352
Kentucky: 679,105
Louisiana: 781,733
Mississippi: 521,052
Missouri: 1,215,031
Nebraska: 289,154
North Carolina: 2,175,670
North Dakota: 124,490
Oklahoma: 442,359
South Carolina: 799,026
South Dakota: 144,983
Tennesee: 951,406
Texas: 3,291,582
Utah: 229,721
West Virginia: 234,985
Wyoming: 68,779

The listed numbers are the reported number of votes cast for President Obama in every state that went for Romney.

Due to the Electoral College it is frequently tempting to think of a vote in an off-color state as a "wasted vote," and on a very technical level that's true.   That said, as of 11:07am EST, using the vote information on nbcnews.com, Obama is winning the popular vote by 2,633,396 votes  (Florida is still being Florida and isn't yet called.  And California is continuing to count its votes).

The combined total of votes cast for Obama in Red states is 16,959,560.
