COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore plans to have hundreds of cameras outside polling places in Ohio and Florida on Election Day to watch for attempts to suppress voter turnout.
The director of the anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" announced Saturday that a total of 1,200 professional and nonprofessional cameramen, filmmakers and videographers will bring their cameras to polling places in the two presidential battleground states, especially in minority communities.
"I'm putting those who intend to suppress the vote on notice: Voter intimidation and suppression will not be tolerated," Moore said in a statement.
Moore, who was in Columbus for a rally Saturday night, planned visits to Ohio and Florida on Tuesday, his publicist Terri Hardesty said.
Polls in both states indicate the race between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry is too close to call.
There have been voting problems already in Florida, where 537 votes tipped the state and the presidency to Bush in 2000. In Ohio, Democrats are fighting Republican attempts to challenge voter registrations.
Haven't the democrats been claiming that cameras will intimidate the minority vote?
hmmmmm.....looks like I may have to consider taking a trip to Ohio afterall.
I bet he will have footage of every single voter saying they voted for Skerry
Sounds to me like Moore and Company are expecting a loss. If not, no need for the cameras.
Good. Keep him occupied.
There aint been voter supression for 50 years, and even then it was committed by DEMOCRATS in the south and big cities.
Moore is chasing his tail like the rabid dog that he is.
Can anybody tell me what do they call it when someone starts to believe his own propaganda?
All I can say about this jerk is f**k him.
This will actually HELP Bush.
The camaras are sure to help suppress fraud and that can only be good for Bush.
Cmon, guys. This might be the only time in history you might be able to thank Michael Moore for anything.
I'm sure that where he finds no fraud, he can "document" it anyway.
these are the precincts where they will stage the riots - if the exit polls look like things are going for Bush.
As if he's really going to try to stop fraud committed for Kerry?
Looks like the Dems are in full-tilt-bozo, Battle-Stations Panic Alert Mode.
Oh by the way, oh bearded fat one,,,, your cameras will also document the attempts by Union goons and other DemocRat thugs to intimidate Bush voters like they are doing now during early voting in Florida.
Whats sauce for the goose is sauce.... er... well maybe I shouldn't discuss FOOD for ya, Mikey boy.. but you'll get the idea. Happy intimidation hunting, and dont forget to film the look on your face and on the face of your French friends when KerryBoy LOSES.
EVERYONE FREEP THESE CAMERAS.
Print out some choice words for Mr. Moore and wave them to the camera at the appropriate time.
watch for my middle finger.
EXCELLENT POINT!
Right?
