FERGUSON, Mo -- An effort to recall the mayor of Ferguson in the wake of last summer's shooting death of Michael Brown has fallen short.

County Board of Elections says Ground Level Support was 27 votes short of the required 1,814 valid signatures needed to force an election to recall Mayor James Knowles III.

Knowles, who's white, was criticized for comments he made after last August's shooting death of Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson.

It was his fault poor Gentle Giant “Mikey” was killed for robbing a store then getting shot while assaulting a law enforcement officer. /s

It’s not like the government would ever lie about vote or signature counts

Missed it by that much. Well, this is Missouri, close to Illinois, so you can dig up the conservative dead and get them to sign the recall notice.

If the Dems complain, just tell them that you are just copying Obama’s “Chicago Way”.
