Ferguson: not solved with black voters
Oct. 23, 2014The Georgia Democratic Party wants black voters to turn out in droves in the upcoming November election. This is primarily because the senatorial election between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue is one of the races to watch in determining which party will control the U.S. Senate for the next two years. To encourage voter turnout, the Democratic Party of Georgia created and released fliers featuring images of black protesters in Ferguson outraged over the murder of teenager Mike Brown. The fliers read “If you want to prevent another Ferguson in their future — vote. It’s up to you to make change happen.” This was an obvious attempt to pull on the heartstrings of black Democrats who sympathized with the Brown family and the Ferguson movement.
