Here is a tally of partial results from Tuesday's US presidential election, based on projections by US networks, with Virginia and Ohio too close to call.
 
So far Republican challenger Mitt Romney has a slight edge with 163 out of the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the presidential race. But in the knife-edge race, Democratic incumbent Barack Obama was on 158 electoral votes with some vote-rich states still to be called.
