There are now photos of a Democrat voter registration tent that has been set up in Ferguson. The death of Michael Brown is being used to register Democrats in Ferguson, Missouri, practically right next to the memorial for the kid.

Is this like the mosque that was "at ground zero"?

Haven't seen the pictures, but somehow I'm not surprised every black person on my fb is going insane over this situation. Apparently minorities should be allowed to commit violent robbery and assault police officers without fear of reprimand.

Don't see the problem with this. One of the apparent issues in the town is the black community doesn't have fair representation in the city's governing body. What better opportunity to educate them on ways to correct that and give them a voice.

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.

This isn't surprising one bit.

The Democratic party wants the looters and rioters to think they can fix all of this racism and this unfairness by voting for them.

Al Sharpton slammed the Black Ferguson residents on his show today. He said it's their fault that the local government is almost all White, because in 2012 there was a 54% turnout among Blacks for the Presidential election but the next year there was only a 6% turnout for the local elections.

Don't see this as much different than a republican voter registration in a conservative setting, like a gun show or something. It happens.

I still view this as more egregious seeing as this is off the heels of a death but look at the bright side, at least these folks voting are still alive.

edit: realized I'm dumb

I'm not concerned with people registering. I am just concerned about the likelihood that those registered will "vote" in elections unbeknownst to them.

This would be a good test case to track those who register at these tents and see how many actually vote. This has fraud written all over it down the road. Democrats hate letting an unused vote go to waste.
