Moore to have cameras outside polls
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Filmmaker Michael Moore plans to have hundreds of cameras outside polling places in Ohio and Florida on the U.S. election day to watch for attempts to suppress voter turnout.
The director of the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 announced Saturday a total of 1,200 professional and non-professional 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, plans visits to Ohio and Florida on Tuesday, his publicist Terri Hardesty said.
Polls in both states indicate the race between President George W. Bush and U.S. Senator 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.

Cable News today suddenly really picked up on the story of "coming election chaos!!!!" where they are covering most aspects of what places like indymedia and dailykos.com have been reporting on for a long time.
They were showing all sorts of voter fraud that has already occurred, and were going into the Diebold affair and showing how some computer scientists were able to experimentally hack it w/o leaving traces, and other problems. They were talking to people having problems with computers in early voting lines, and the new weird butterfly ballot in Palm Beach County. Then they were asking how people will flip out on Tuesday about this stuff.
