I can breathe easier now. From the Association Press:
President Barack Obama was declared the winner of Florida's 29
electoral votes Saturday, ending a four-day count with a razor-thin
margin that narrowly avoided an automatic recount that would have
brought back memories of 2000.
No matter the outcome, Obama had already clinched re-election and now has 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206.
The
Florida Secretary of State's Office said that with almost 100 percent
of the vote counted, Obama led Republican challenger Mitt Romney 50
percent to 49.1 percent, a difference of about 74,000 votes. That was
over the half-percent margin where a computer recount would have been
automatically ordered unless Romney had waived it.

"Florida has spoken loudly in support
of moving our nation forward," Ashley Walker, the Obama campaign's
director for Florida, said in a news release.
