An additional pie chart showing the percentage of African Americans (Blacks) by state displays that although there were states with large Black populations, some of them (Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and Louisiana) ended up eventually voting for McCain. During the elections, it was highly anticipated that these "Southern" states would have high Black voter turnout, given the percentage of African American people there.
On the other hand, the chart also shows that the race for the White House wasnt necessarily based on "Black Vs White" for many states with minimal Black Populations ended up voting for Obama.
