JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Matt Wills denounced voter registration efforts amid continued protests in Ferguson, calling it "disgusting."
"If that’s not fanning the political flames, I don’t know what is," Wills told Breitbart News, a conservative website, Monday.
He also called the actions "completely inappropriate."

It's pretty sleazy for Democrats to use this incident to register voters in Ferguson. About 70% of Ferguson's population is black. Almost all of the elected officials in Ferguson are white, including the Republican mayor. Turnout among black voters in Ferguson is 6%. If they wanted to vote, they should have done it before. Now is not the time to register.
