Woman dancing in the aisle \u003cbr/\u003eAs the clock ticks down on one of the most remarkable presidential contests in U.S. history, the African-American population is energised in ways not seen in decades.\u003cbr/\u003e138 years after the post-Civil War 15th Amendment of the US Constitution granted blacks the right to vote - a right which took nearly another century and the Civil Rights movement to fully realise - an African-American has the first true shot at winning the White House.  \u003cbr/\u003eAnd the nation's black population, particularly in key swing states, is gearing up, hoping to be a potent political force come Election Day.\u003cbr/\u003eAt Friendship Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio, the enthusiasm for the political race is palpable.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring a recent Sunday service, usually reserved strictly for religious worship, the election - and the need to get out the vote - was at the top of the agenda. \u003cbr/\u003eChurch organisations and pastors are prohibited by federal law from supporting a political candidate or party from the pulpit. \u003cbr/\u003eBut in black churches across Ohio and America, they don't have to. \u003cbr/\u003eA poll conducted by the University of Cincinnati earlier this month showed 94 percent of blacks in Ohio said they would support Senator Barack Obama in November's election.\u003cbr/\u003eIn other words, if church organisers just do their part in registering and turning out their congregation's vote, that could mean good news for Obama.\u003cbr/\u003eTina Lawrence, who's led a voter registration effort at Friendship Baptist, said the excitement this election season is unparalleled.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The fact that we've had the first you know, serious African American candidate..has, you know, added to the excitement and the interest, I think, especially from our community,\" said Lawrence.\u003cbr/\u003eThat excitement and interest in the election this season is underscored by the historic voter registration numbers among blacks.\u003cbr/\u003eBut many congregants of Friendship Baptist insist their passion for electing Obama is less about race and more about a serious desire for change.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think this is not an election on race this time. I think it's the American people looking for a change,\" said Reginald Graham, an Obama supporter.\u003cbr/\u003eToni Gaines agreed, adding that Obama's \"support base is much broader than people think.\" Gaines said she hopes Americans stop focusing so much on race and \"get to the point where they'll realise that we want the best man for the job.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWhatever the reason, the American black population is expected to turn out November 4th in numbers not seen in decades - if ever.\u003cbr/\u003eIncreases in voter registration throughout Ohio and other swing states, and a huge surge in black turnout for the state's March primary indicate blacks could end up playing a major role in who wins the White House.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Toledo alone, the number of blacks voting in the 2008 primary more than doubled the number in 2004.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd this year, as a result of new election laws in Ohio and other battleground states, voters have the option of casting ballots days or weeks in advance -- by mail or in person.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's an opportunity the Obama campaign has aggressively seized upon as it makes an unprecedented push to get every last supporter to the polls.\u003cbr/\u003eAs pollster Carroll Doherty explained, George W. Bush won the state of Ohio in 2004 by just 2 percentage points. A large turnout by new black voters in Ohio or any other swing state could potentially redraw the election map and propel Obama to victory.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Nationally, we saw that blacks made up about ten percent of the election in 2004. Based on the higher levels of engagement, that may go up a point or two, which doesn't seem impressive, but in a state like Ohio or Virginia, a point or two could make all the difference,\" said Doherty.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the Obama camp is optimistic about increasing the black turnout, it's also cautious.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter all, campaigns have been excited in the past about registering large numbers of blacks to vote, only to be disappointed by the turnout on Election Day.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother thorny issue has been the sustained political wrangling in Ohio over alleged voter\u003cbr/\u003eregistration discrepancies. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Republican Party has filed numerous legal challenges questioning the status of about 200,000 newly registered voters in Ohio, warning about the potential for voter fraud.\u003cbr/\u003eThe U.S.Supreme Court has already said the GOP didn't have the standing to bring one case against  the Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Democrats have accused Republicans of employing scare tactics to frighten away new voters.\u003cbr/\u003eSome Obama supporters also fear a strong black showing will be more important than ever, just to counteract the votes Obama may lose from white voters who can't bring themselves to cast a ballot for a black man.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think that's just the reality of the United States. There will be people who vote against their own vested interest just because he's an African-American, that's sad really,\" said Ohio voter and African-American Paula Stewart.\u003cbr/\u003eKathryn Merriman, another Obama supporter, echoed that concern. \"That's been my fear from the very beginning. It's a racist nation. And it does worry me, but I'm hopeful,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003ePollster Carroll Doherty said Merriman might have reason to be hopeful this time around.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In the end, the negatives Obama is experiencing because of his race might be outweighed by the positives of the excitement of the first African American candidate for a major party and the fact that young people and African Americans are so enthusiastic.\" \u003cbr/\u003eWhether or not that enthusiasm actually translates into votes remains to be seen. \u003cbr/\u003eBut if it does, the irony won't be lost on many. \u003cbr/\u003eFor much of this election cycle, Obama supporters worried race could be their candidate's downfall.\u003cbr/\u003eNow, if turnout meets expectations in some states, it could end up being one of his greatest weapons.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read
