With eighty-one precincts uncounted, John McCain leads Barack Obama by six-tenths of a percent in Missouri, according to statistics posted on the Missouri secretary of state's website.
If McCain's lead holds, Missouri, for the first time in half a century will not have voted for the winning presidential candidate. McCain has 1,407,768 votes to 1,390,176 for Obama.
One point in Obama's favor- much of the remaining vote is in St. Louis County, which so far has been voting heavily in the Illinois senator's favor. Some Jackson County precincts, where the two candidates have split the vote fairly evenly are also out, as well as smaller areas in Pulaski and Christian counties, which have voted strongly in favor of McCain.
