For African-Americans in Ohio,
coming out to vote during this election was personal. Many saw the
state’s voter-ID bills as a direct threat to rights denied their
ancestors decades earlier. Fueled as much by angst against the ID
mandate as enthusiasm for a black president, African-Americans voted at a rate so much higher than 2008 that they may have been the decisive voting bloc.
