President Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan.

After President Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney sparred aggressively last week, the candidates dug into foreign policy at Monday night's third and final presidential debate. News organizations cited instant polls that showed voters believed both candidates did well in a face-off that was less contentious than past debates this season but offered up a few verbal highlights. The two candidates had extensive exchanges on Iran and Syria, and the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance.

Turnout for the primary election was light in Baltimore County, but many of those who came out offered passionate support for their candidate.
Brian Brocki wanted to make sure his son Zach understood the importance of voting. So, the Essex man took Zach, 14, with him as he cast his ballot at Eastern Technical High School in Tuesday's primary election. The fact that there were few people who actually cast votes made the lesson even more important. "I wanted to make sure that when he's old enough that he understands that voting is his duty," said Brocki, who came out in part to vote for Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential race. Brocki joined the majority of Maryland's GOP voters as multiple media outlets declared Romney the winner of the state's primary almost immediately after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Essex resident Raymond Schweiger agrees with Brocki.
