It looks like John McCain has won Missouri — the last state not marked in either red or blue on the electoral map.

The Missouri Secretary of State’s office said Tuesday night the Arizona Republican led President-elect Barack Obama by 4,355 votes out of 2,923,496 cast.

Assuming the state certifies the count, it will place the overall electoral vote at 365 for Obama and 173 for McCain.

The office said 3,159 provisional ballots remain to be added to those totals, but even if Obama wins them all, McCain has a big enough margin to win the state’s 11 electoral votes.

All of the state’s voting jurisdictions were required to certify their votes by Tuesday, but four of them — St. Louis County, St. Louis, Jackson County, and Montgomery County — had not provided totals by the close of business, the office said.

State law allows counties to mail in their results, and the Secretary of State expects the remaining totals sometime today.

A spokesman said there is still a chance the four jurisdictions have uncounted ballots other than the provisionals, so the office did not declare a winner Tuesday.

Obama can ask for a recount, since the margin is less than one percent, but he appears unlikely to do so.

The state must certify the results by early December, before the electors cast their votes for president.
