Barack Obama was very skillful in creating several supporting organizations which helped him to register voters. One of the best known groups that registered voters in 2008 was called OFA (Obama for America); at its peak, it had as many as eight million volunteers throughout the United States. Mr. Obama also received help from liberal and progressive groups like MoveOn.org, and several labor unions. Perhaps the most controversial group that helped register voters was ACORN, a community organizing group with expertise in registering poor voters. Republicans would soon accuse the group of perpetrating voter fraud, but fact-checkers and government investigators did not find any credible evidence of it. I enclose a link about ACORN's actual role in the 2008 election.

How many registered voters in Texas actually voted in presidential election?
About 8,087,000 votes were cast in Texas in the 2008 presidential election.
Who appointed the electors who cast those votes?
The Governor of each state or the Mayor of Washington DC is the one who signs the Certificate of Ascertainment, the official list of the electors appointed by the state or DC. In each state each ticket (each pair of a presidential candidate and his vice-presidential running mate) has its own slate of electors, a group of people totaling the full number of electors the state may appoint who are usually chosen by the political party and who have pledged to vote for the party's candidates. In most states and DC the ticket that receives the most popular votes statewide in the General Election gets their whole slate of electors appointed. In Maine and Nebraska only two electoral appointments in each state are based on the statewide popular vote, and each additional appointment is based on which ticket gets the most popular votes in each congressional district. Since adopting this method in 1972, however, Maine's two congressional districts have always voted the same, so all of Maine's votes go to one ticket in every election anyway. In fact, the only time that Maine has EVER split their presidential or vice-presidential electoral votes is when one of Maine's nine electors at the time voted for the Andrew Jackson/ John C. Calhoun ticket in 1828. Nebraska has been using this method since 1996 but has only actually split their votes once. In 2008 the McCain/Palin ticket got the most popular votes statewide and in two of Nebraska's three congressional districts. In the other district the Obama/Biden ticket got the most popular votes. So the Governor appointed four electors from the Republican slate of electors and one from the Democratic slate.
