Guam votes ahead of the rest of the United States since it is on the early side of the International Dateline. The results have been counted and reported and Johnson scored 1.12%.
The final results: Obama 23,067 (72.39%); Romney 8,443 (26.49%); Johnson 357 (1.12%). Johnson gained over Bob Barr’s percentage from 2008, when his percentage was .66%. Gary Johnson was the only third party candidate or independent on the Presidential ballot.
Since it isn’t mentioned above I want to state that no non-state other than the District of Columbia (Washington, DC) is allotted votes in the Presidential electoral college. DC is given 3 per the 23rd amendment.
If Guam is an easy pick up as @3 infers I am surprised that the Green Party didn’t ask for a ballot position.
Someone in Guam claims a perfect correlation between the vote in Guam and the electoral college results in the following article.

Why the HELL wasnt the CP on in Guam? Same crap happened in 2008. It only takes a letter to get on.
That’s exactly what I said.
Just a beauty contest at most; the territories can’t vote for President, only the 50 states & DC. Puerto Rico’s status referendum has more relevance than this; though it’s also just a beauty contest, it could influence congressional action.
Bob Barr got 0.66% in Guam in 2008.
