Republicans are criticizing efforts by liberal organizers to set up voter registration booths at the site where Missouri teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by a local police officer.
Reports of the voter registration tables have been reported via liberal activists on social media.

Another activist urged Ferguson residents to register at both the QT convenience store protestor location and the crime scene memorial.
Voter registration for #Ferguson residents is at the QT & the crime scene. SIGN UP. Get on the juries, choose your leaders. #MikeBrown

In an interview with Breitbart News, Missouri RNC executive director Matt Wills expressed outrage about the reports.
Wills explained that the shooting death of Michael Brown was a tragedy for everyone.
During the rally for Michael Brown on Sunday, MSNBC host Al Sharpton announced that his National Action Network was going to work with Bishop Larry Jones for a voter registration drive to drive up voter turnout.
