Moore in 'noodles for votes' row

BBC News:
Republicans are calling for film-maker Michael Moore to be prosecuted for offering prizes of noodles and underwear to encourage voting.

The Michigan Republican Party accuses the director of bribery on his speaking tour to encourage students to vote.

Although Moore attacked President George Bush in his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, his speeches do not tell people what party to vote for.

But Republicans still believe he is breaking Michigan election rules. "We want everyone to participate in this year's election, but not because they were bribed or coerced by the likes of Michael Moore," said Greg McNeilly, executive director of the state's Republican Party.
