With voting day hours away President Obama and Governor Romney focused their remaining energy on swing states and get-out-the-vote efforts.

The Los Angeles TimesNew York Times, and Washington Post all reported that Obama held his last campaign efforts in Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa. Romney held his rallies in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and New Hampshire; also planning to campaign on Election Day in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The Washington Post and New York Times claimed that provisional ballots in Florida, Ohio and Iowa may become a problem. The election boards have 10 days after the election to decide if these ballots are acceptable, possibly prolonging the election results.

The New York Times told of Obama campaign aides predicting if Obama wins Ohio, it will guarantee his second term.

As for Mitt Romney, The Washington Post believes Florida is his key to victory; hopes are high with a recent poll showing a five point lead.
