Florida is considered the most vital of swing states in the United States and has often been paramount in terms of determining the result of the election.
With every passing election the state actually becomes more important due to the increasing population which saw it gain 2 additional electoral college votes in 2012, bringing the prize to 29 votes.
President Barack Obama won here in 2008 and 2012 for the Democrats and former President George W Bush scored victories in the state in 2000 and 2004. Florida has voted for the overall winner of the election in the last 5 presidential contests.
As soon as we have the first indications as to who is leading in exit polls they will be published here.
