WASHINGTON (AP/CBS News) - Democrat Hillary Clinton has won Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia while Republican Donald Trump has captured Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Clinton was awarded Massachusetts' 11 electoral votes, 20 from Illinois, 10 from Maryland, 14 from New Jersey, four from Rhode Island and three each from Delaware and the nation's capital. Trump picked up seven from Oklahoma, nine from South Carolina, six from Mississippi and 11 from Tennessee.
The results Tuesday were not surprising. Massachusetts and the District of Columbia are two of the nation's safest Democratic strongholds.
The last time Oklahoma went for a Democrat was 1964, when it voted for Lyndon Johnson. Maryland last went for the GOP in 1988.
New Jersey has been a safe Democratic state for 20 years. Its governor, Chris Christie, is a close Trump ally but is saddled with low approval numbers.
Clinton currently has a 68-57 lead in the electoral college.
