Supporters of U.S. President Barack Obama cheer during an election night rally in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012.
After a tense night of tracking voting returns, the results are in: Barack Obama has been re-elected as President of the United States. Both candidates put up a fierce battle right until the final votes were cast. We wanted to know how you felt about the result, so we asked TIME’s Twitter followers to tweet their thoughts using the hashtag #TIMEVote.

#TIMEVote a real shame. America is given a lifeline and they put faith back in Obama. How can you vote for someone who has done so little!

#TIMEVote I am disappointed. I guess I will by land, gold, silver and not waste capital in equities. It's about the fiscal demise of the US
