Those three states are:
North Carolina - 9 Electoral Votes Ohio - 18 Electoral Votes Virginia - 13 Electoral Votes
In addition to diminished voter enthusiasm, the still-ailing economy, persistent high unemployment among blacks, new state voting laws and limited growth in the African-American population could help discourage turnout.
"We achieved a high-water mark in America in 2008. For the first time, African Americans were at the table with white America" because the turnout of black voters was just 1.4 points below white voters, said Chanelle Hardy, senior vice president and executive director of the National Urban League Policy Institute. But, "because we achieved so much in 2008, we have to push even harder to meet those numbers."

BTW, THIS corresponds with a Federal Judge's ruling late last week that Florida is allowed to purge up to 300,000 voters using the Fed's law enforcement database -- [link to latino.foxnews.com]
