The only votes that get counted are from registered voters. (There are various internet myths about how this candidate or that candidate "stole" the election, but in most cases, these are exaggerated or entirely false. In 2012, there is no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud, nor is there evidence that Mr. Obama stole the election.) What we do know for certain is that President Obama received 65,899,660 popular votes (51%), and 332 electoral votes, which was enough to give him a second term.
In 2008, 98% of black voters voted to elect Barack Obama as president (some sources said 97%). In the 2012 election, 96% of black voters voted for Mr. Obama.
If there are 169 000 000 registered voters according to WikiAnswers, then 70.71% of the registered voters voted in November 2008. 86 million democrat - 55 million republican - 28 million others registered

Actually, no. Black people are not a majority in this country, and even if every black person voted the same way (which they do not), that would not put a president in office. As it turned out, the president carried 28 states, most of which had white majorities. And while 96% of black voters did support Obama, so did a large number of young voters, Hispanic voters, and female voters. There was a cross-section from just about every demographic. (It should also be noted that although McCain got more white male voters, 41% of white males voted for President Obama.)

52.9 percent
fifty percent
About 2490 or 38% of the voters in Amelia County voted for Obama in 2008.
How many of the registered voters "turn out" to actually vote ; the percentage of voters who voted .
I assume you mean that 55 percent of the registered voters voted. That being the case, and using x = 100 percent, then .55x = 48000; divide both sides by .55 and the number of registered voters is approximately 87273.
95% of african american voters voted for president Obama...i can't imagine that race had no impact on the election.
According to Politico.com, 95%. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1108/15297.html
