The decline in turnout is because the Democratic Party became toxic there and not the other way around. Also, Obama was no blacker in 2012 than he was in 2008 when an addition 65,000 West Virginians voted for him. Coal is obviously the main factor in the dropoff there but there are many others that have been discussed here already (Bigby summarizes it well).
