It's a done deal.

Congress on Friday formally confirmed President Obama's win in the Electoral College over Republican election opponent Mitt Romney.

Vice President Joe Biden, who also serves as president of the Senate, chaired a Joint Session of Congress as members of the House and Senate took turns announcing electoral votes from all 50 states.

As happened on Election Day, Obama won 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206.

From the Associated Press:

"The constitutional formality certifying the vote lacked the suspense of the November election but kept with tradition. The results also affirmed Biden as vice president.

"The final official vote from all 50 states and the District of Columbia showed Obama with 65,899,660 votes, or 51.1 percent, and Romney with 60,932,152 votes, or 47.2 percent."
