        @aterkel And that goes for all you who want to stop GOP from taking over Congress & Senate at federal & state level. Voting is responsible.

        @aterkel I'm not familiar with #Ferguson politico, but I'd wager that voter turnout wouldn't have prevented this murder. @jackherer20

        @aterkel 12% turnout is not good -- big opp for AAs to make inroads if galvanized -- but not atypical in suburban elections..
