And here's the summary of how many registered voters vs how many were eligible to vote

State Total 17,304,091 vs 23,208,710
And the bottom line is that only around 14 million actually cast ballots for president. There could be more that voted in other races or measures though.

There's no evidence that they stopped counting ballots after Obama was declared the victor. Other ballots would still have the other races and measures on them, so a complete count would be required, and the presidential column would still be part of it
