... f State, County and Municipal Employees in response to the civil unrest in late April and early May after the death of Freddie Gray from injuries suffered in police custody. The organizers targeted the neighborhoods of West Baltimore, where Gray was arrested. AFSCME Maryland has done voter registration efforts before, but the unrest "put it into hyperdrive," said Patrick Moran, president of the union group.
On Saturday, the ASFSCME members had more luck elsewhere, registering 22 new voters. One of them was 18-year-old Brandi Womack, who was set to graduate from Carver Vocational-Technical High on Sunday.
Womack, whose mother, Dishawn Smith, was one of the 27 AFSCME volunteers, said some of her friends are interested in voting, while others are less so.
"If I let them know that I had registered, maybe they could make a change with their voice, too," Womack said.
Smith, who said she had been registered to vote since she was a teenager, added: "I think Brandi wants to see a change within the youth. They feel like they have no outlet."

Can you add...”and the GOP enables them”
Freddy Grays heroin life matters but not the 100s of blacks killed by other blacks since. Just curious: When it comes to politics, why are the dumbest black people always elected? Are intelligent blacks not offended by this? I would take this as an insult, it seems like there is some underground push going on to make all blacks look stupid when it comes to high level jobs. Maybe that is what the slave party aka Democratic party is doing, they only promote the borderline mentally retarded? Look at this state attorney and Mayor, my God, I wouldn’t trust them running a lemonade stand. It astounds me the level of blatant stupidity, sometimes I wonder if this is some kind of bizarre hoax. How can any adult, especially one with a college degree have absolutely no capacity for reason like that? Thanking the nation of Islam? This what this Mayor Rawlings was doing the other day. And then this Marilyn Mosby standing with thugs who just looted and trashed millions of dollars worth of property, telling them it is “our time” ? WHAT?
What’s amazing to me is they are also willing to throw black police under the bus as well to further the agenda. 3 of the arrested cops are black. I don’t understand how a bitch like this Marilyn Mosby can look herself in the mirror after doing something like this. I don’t even have to guess she’s been promised some kind of position in the future by this administration and the treason party, but it is a hell of a thing to unjustly destroy the lives of several people all to ingratiate herself to a bunch of political thugs.
Those guys will get a change of venue, it won’t be tried in Baltimore.
I’m pretty sure that Sarge’s post should be read as extreme sarcasm.
I bet they didn't.
You silly goose! The gimmedat crowd gets even more free stuff from the lily white liberals.
Because actual intelligent black people become doctors or other professions that require intelligence (and dignity and morals). People at the other end of the intelligence bell curve become politicians or lawyers. That explains both Obamas, both Clintons, and several others, doesn't it?
You’re exactly right, that’s what it is. They can’t make it in the private sector so they end up in government and the people get screwed. My brother was talking about this last week, you get people who are going to vote for a certain party no matter what, you can talk to them until you are blue in the face they will never change their minds. So when it comes time to vote, they are presented with these candidates who are absolute morons, and these voters just do not care. They will vote for them no matter what. So this is why we have people like Sheila Jackson Lee, Pelosi, Reid, Clintons, Obama who are elected/in office on and on and on and on. It’s not so much the voters but the choices they are given. These people are going to vote Democrat no matter what and it’s the party in league with the media that keeps pushing morons on them. This has GOT to stop because it is doing immense damage not only to the US but to the rest of the world as well. I absolutely detest the Democratic party, ISIS only wishes they could do the kind of damage Democrats do.
You count the votes and keep counting the votes until they come out right.

No, they should get a change of venue, but I don't know if anyone can count on that. Mosby does not want to let them get off her railroad.
“So this is why we have people like Sheila Jackson Lee, Pelosi, Reid, Clintons, Obama who are elected/in office on and on and on and on,”
Yeah, and don’t forget good ol’ Hank Johnson. Guam COULD tip over any time, you know!
Yup. I was being a bit silly. But it is curious why the urgency for voter registration when democrats own the city - unless there needs to be more fraud potential since the black democrat lost the last governor race to a white guy.
