Emergency! Time Is Running Out to Register
8 Million Potential Black Voters
It is estimated that there are 8 million eligible African Americans nationwide who still have not registered to vote in the November election. This figure is almost one third of the eligible black electorate in this country.
Laws vary from state to state, but in many key states registration deadlines are close at hand. Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Florida have a registration deadline of October 6. This is only three weeks away.
The black vote in these states may prove decisive. Obviously, the Obama campaign will need to devote huge resources to register voters in key battleground states over the next three weeks.
With polls showing a tight race, the campaign that can register the most voters and do the best job of getting its voters to the polls on Election Day is likely to be the winner.
Hmm. Why isn’t there a rush to sign up the white vote? Geez, if it’s gonna be four years of “we need to do this for so and so race” no wonder there are “racists” against voting for Obama.
