Wisconsin Presidential Election Results: Paul Ryan Loses Vice Presidential Spot but Reelected as District 1 Congressman

Wisconsin might have given President Barack Obama a second term but it didn't derail Romney's running mate Paul Ryan's political career.

Losing the presidential election with Romney might cause future aspirations for Ryan but back in his home state of Wisconsin, he was also facing reelection.

Rob Zerban challenged Ryan for his congressional seat for the Wisconsin's first district, consisting Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha counties.

Ryan might have overall won his congressional seat but it was not a decisive win among the six counties.

Based on CNN projections, starting with Kenosha County, Zerban was victorious with 52 percent to Ryan's 46 percent. Kenosha gave 41,101 votes to Zerban while Ryan received 36,092 votes.

Ryan rebounded in Milwaukee as he receiving 29,958 votes, or 60 percent, to Zerban's 18,866 votes, or 38 percent.

The numbers for Ryan diminished in Racine, receiving 51 percent to Zerban's 48 percent. Ryan garnered 50,106 votes to Zerban's 47,618 votes.

Rock County will be the last county that went for Zerban. The challenger received 20,902 votes, or 52 percent, to Ryan's 18,826 votes, or 46 percent.

Walworth and Waukesha counties comfortably went for Ryan.

In Walworth, 62 percent, or 27890 votes, went to Ryan compared to Zerban's 16,546 votes, or 36 percent.

Waukesha County gave Ryan the best percentage with 73 percent, but only 36,843 votes, to Zerban's 25 percent, or 12,688 votes.

In total, Ryan received 55 percent (199,715 votes) while Zerban received 43 percent (157,721 votes).

Ryan's day job is safe but his opportunity to be in the White House was gone as Obama won Wisconsin's 10 Electoral votes with 53 percent to Romney's 46 percent. In terms of votes, Obama managed 1,613,950 votes to Romney's 1,408,746 votes.

The margin of victory in 2012 is considerably less than Obama's 2008 results. Four years ago, Obama received 56.2 percent to Arizona Senator John McCain's 42. 3 percent, a margin of victory of 13.9 percent, higher than the 2012 margin of seven percentage points.

CNN's exit polls show 57 percent of women voting for Obama than Romney's 42 percent while men favored Romney with 51 percent to 47 percent for the president.
