One Man, Two Registrations Michael Moore simultaneously on voter rolls in New York, Michigan JUNE 28--Prior to last week's Washington, D.C. premiere of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore denied that the new film represents his de facto endorsement of John Kerry. "I am an Independent," the filmmaker told reporters. "I'm not a member of the Democratic party."
Which is not exactly correct.
New York City Board of Elections records show that Moore, 50, registered to vote in Gotham in 1992, checking off "Democratic" as his party affiliation (below you'll find a copy of his original registration form). He listed his address as the swanky Upper West Side building where he owns a multimillion dollar condominium (Moore's office is on West 57th Street). The filmmaker's New York registration remains active, though he has not voted since an October 2001 Democratic runoff election.
Now here's the good part: Moore is simultaneously registered to vote in Michigan, where registrants aren't even given the option of party affiliation (so he's not an Independent there either). According to Antrim County records, Moore registered last April from his lakefront spread in northern Michigan, where he reportedly splits his time (he transferred his drivers license to Michigan from New York around the same time, though Moore has a Volkswagen Beetle registered from his Manhattan home).
We're sure this is some kind of innocent mix-up, that Moore forgot to cancel his New York registration before signing up in Michigan. Though, as a New York City voter, TSG can tell you it's hard not to realize you are registered, since a voter's mailbox is regularly bombarded with candidate mail, official voter guides, and Board of Election notices about upcoming elections and reminders about the location of your polling place.
On his web site, Moore asks visitors to take his "Pledge of Democratic Allegiance," which calls for them to register ten new voters this summer and spend one October weekend in a swing state. "The important thing is, if you live in a place like New York or Texas, you gotta head over to Pennsylvania or New Mexico," writes Moore, who provides a list of 18 states, ranked in order of importance, that could go either blue or red. He places Michigan thirteenth on that list.
and if he somehow passes away before the election he will get an additional vote....what-a-perk.
Well, it figures. After all, he's big enough for two states.
BTW, when is Mr. Moore going to shave? His beard is a mess.
Put the boy in jail on bread and water.
Michael Moore is...a liar?!
LOL... Moore in a Beetle... what a mental image.
can Michael Moore get into a Volkswagon Beetle? Aside from the outrage of being registered to vote in two states.
Do we not prosecute for voter fraud anymore? Isn't he advocating law-breaking?
I think the beard is a vanity, oddly enough. Despite his overall slovenly appearance, he's trying to hide the extra chins.
Think of how much jet and auto fuel this sob could save, if he got his weight down to that of average Americans. Not, that it isn't his right as an American to weigh anything he wants.
I just assumed he was going for the Yasser Arafat look...
he needs to jazzercise that fat ass.
And Antrim County is FAR from Flint. It's on the NW part of Michigan.
I'm going to have to contact the bureau of elections on this one.
Why did fat boy change his official address from his permanant home in New York to a summer home in Michigan. It couldn't have anything to do with the sky high state and city income tax rates could it?
Well he's a multi-millionaire, what does he care.
How does that go? Vote early, vote often? Yeh, that's it. Sounds like Moore might take it to heart.
