According to the Demographics on the U.S. Census Bureau (link above), 7 of our states have a population made up of anywhere from 27 to 55% African Americans. Eleven more states have anywhere from a 14 to a 21% Black population. What I would like to know are the specifics on this, and whether this is evenly spread throughout the state, or only in certain counties. I would also like to know why there is such a difference in Black population in the United States. I say this because 13 of our states only have between a 0.5 and a 2.3% Black population.

To me, it seems that most people will consider all the facts before going to vote, but when it comes to the African American population, Barack Obama has a bit more of the appeal, which gives him a slight advantage (for those states). Therefore, supposing the election is almost a tiebreaker, those 7 states (or even just 1 of those states) may be able to swing the vote in Barack Obama's favor.
