6. It shows
a number of voters (all black) talking about how they've lived in their homes 20+ years, or voted in the last couple of elections and were told when they showed up to vote they were not on the list.
It shows some of the voter intimitation the Repugs indulged in (until they were kicked out for harassing voters); with voters talking about how these two young men were trying to affect people's vote or hovered over them to try to disturb them into making a mistake. When they were kicked out of the voting place, they were harassing black voters outside. They ran away or stopped talking when they saw MM's camera, and when MM drove up to them to ask them a question while they were in their car - they took off. Refused to chat.

7. Jessie Jackson was also there
and he said something like this "Think about it, if you had 500 blacks show up in a white voting precinct and try to intimidate and persuade voters on who they should elect...that would be found totally unacceptable."

8. Thank you for the play by play
Kind of makes me think that maybe MM is really alot more involved than we have speculated. I was repulsed by his interview with Leno, but hoping that he was "taking one for the team" by turning his evidence over and letting the law (Conyers and Arneback) take its' course.

9. I keep hoping that like a knight in shining armor Moore will show
Up in court offering Extensive Video that documents the disenfranchisement. He had film crews on election day in both Ohio and Florida. I am still having trouble myself swallowing his appearance on Leno, and hope that he just did it to appear as if he was in acceptance of the results of the election.
