Also according to AP, the "neighboring" state of Virginia, West Virginia, with 5 electoral votes, belonged to the current President Donald Trump. Previously, Mr. Trump was also predicted to win in Kentucky and Indiana.
Meanwhile, the two battleground states of Ohio and North Carolina have just finished voting.
