Obama wins...
... in 431 different scenarios vs Romney's 76, depending on the outcome in a few contested states.
Specifically, if he carries Ohio and Florida or North Carolina, Romney loses.

Fivethirtyeight has Romney not winning until the 11th most probable electoral college split.

We’ll se how well the vote flipping machines and deliberately screwed up process of making everybody in populated areas have to wait in line for hours to vote works for Romney.

2. A lot of the early results are coming from Republican strongholds. Wait until the New York, California, and Illinois count their votes.
+1.
I'm under no illusions that he will win, I just wanted to help him get closer to 5%.

You know what sucks, my precinct was consistently running +5 hour wait times to vote today. I went to vote this morning at 7am (before work), 3:30pm (left work early), and 7pm (just before the precincts closed). Each time the parking lot was COMPLETELY filled, any grass areas that could conceivably be used for parking were COMPLETELY filled, and there were numerous cars driving around looking for places to park. Meanwhile, 2 precincts CLOSER to my house were completely deserted, without a single person in line. This was the same story throughout Lee County FL.
Maybe this seems innocent, but Lee County FL is VERY conservative. 4 years ago McCain won Lee County FL 73.02% to Obama's 26.18%. Apparently someone down here doesn't want conservatives voting. Despite 3 attempts, I was not able to cast my vote today in any kind of a reasonable amount of time, and it seems to be the same story I'm hearing over and over again. Almost 3 hours after polls have closed there are still long lines, praise those that were willing to wait I guess. Hopefully they were enough.
