HONOLULU (AP) – President Barack Obama has easily won his home state of Hawaii, and all four of its electoral votes.
Hawaii was called for Obama as polls closed at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Voter surveys in the state consistently showed the president, who was born in Honolulu, with double-digit leads over his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Obama’s election in 2008 was a source of pride among many Hawaii voters. He graduated from Punahou School in Honolulu and regularly vacations in the Aloha State.
Four years ago, Obama won Hawaii with more than 71 percent of the vote.
