It's got to be true then...

Assuming this is true, you don't see the problem with pandering to the emotions of a populace during a perceived crisis to secure votes?

Really?

I read earlier the last local elections in Ferguson only had 9% voter turnout.

Well then it must be true!

I don't have a problem with any group holding voter registration drives in just about any scenario. Having more people vote in this country is a good thing, and if it takes something like this to wake people up, so be it. I read earlier the last local elections in Ferguson only had 9% voter turnout.

Yes, this is what we need. More people playing party politics because they've been roped in by their.

Only if the people voting educate themselves on the candidates running for office. Blindly voting for a democrat or republican, a man or a woman, or a black or a white man does nothing to create change.

Can't argue that. Just because they register at a tent hosted by the Democratic party doesn't necessarily mean they'll vote Democratic the rest of their life. I first registered at a Republican sponsored event and my voting history is all over the place.

Wasn't a huge complaint about Ferguson the fact that the population is overwhelmingly African-American yet the elected leadership is white? If so, this suggests either A) the residents of Ferguson elected the current leadership with candidate quality being the main determining factor and with all of the town's residents equally represented in voter turnout, or B) much of the minority population is un-registered as voters and therefore have had little say in election outcomes. Perhaps if they had voted the outcomes would be the same, but that is not likely given their negative reaction to the racial makeup of their town leadership.

If it's B, increased voter registration is a positive thing and serves to possibly attentuate tensions in the area. Sure, it is a calculating move by the democratic party, but if we're being honest, the majority of the population that would newly register to vote would register as democrats anyway. It's not like the GOP is above such tactics, it would just be a waste of their time.
