President-elect Barack Obama was Friday declared the winner of North Carolina, three days after the US elections, making him the first Democrat to take the state since 1976, media said.
Obama's triumph over Republican John McCain in the southern state adds another 15 electoral college votes bringing his total to 364, with 270 were needed to win the election.
The results from Missouri, however, are still not declared with the two candidates running a neck-and-neck race with only a few thousand votes separating them, with McCain narrowly in the lead. Missouri has 11 electoral votes.
Independent tracking website RealClearPolitics.com said Obama had won North Carolina with just 0.5 percent more of the vote. MSNBC gave the result as 2,123,395 votes for Obama and 2,109,402 for McCain.
