Moore coming to Fl. in Oct. -- focus on votes getting counted


Michael Moore to tackle voting rights issues in Florida

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/breaking_news/9264159.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp&1c

Moore, the director of "Fahrenheit 9/11," said Wednesday he would make stops throughout Florida in October to focus attention on voting rights issues and try to prevent a repeat of the 2000 election debacle.

"I will have my cameras. We will put a huge spotlight on them. They will not get away with it this time."

He promised to donate money to bring "an army of lawyers" who will serve as poll watchers in November.

"The second anyone tries to prevent a voter from voting, we will go down to the courthouse, we will get the judge immediately and we will stop it at that moment," Moore said.

Moore was joined by U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch, a Democratic Senate candidate from Fort Lauderdale, and U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, a Jacksonville Democrat who was featured in footage in the movie.

I like the "they will not get away with it this time" part

however, judges could have a 'gone fishing' sign on their doors.
