...have heard how the 2004 election came out. Bush, who lost the popular count by half a million votes in 2000, won by 3 million the next time around. He also took virtually every state Moore campaigned in. So the only suspense in the movie is how Moore will somehow claim victory. He does it at the end by noting that young people, his target audience, voted in record numbers and that they were the only age group to go for Kerry. That's impressive, Pyrrhically, except that Moore's stated purpose in making Fahrenheit 9/11...
...first companies to sell lever-voting technology created a national ad campaign in 1959 called "Behind the Freedom Curtain." "You will register and count your own vote!" The ad proclaimed."Mechanical counters cannot get tired, cannot get cranky, cannot forget!"

(If the information later checks out, their votes count; if not, the votes are discounted.) Until recently, each of Ohio's 88 counties counted provisional ballots differently. The Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless won a lawsuit forcing Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to impose consistent rules statewide. But because the ruling came just two weeks ago, insiders worry that the disorder...
...remote area of France, where there are no other Americans. She called the U.S. Embassy, who sent her a FWAB. "I think it should be easier to vote," says Thompson-Coffe. A debate stirred in Virginia a few days ago when the Fairfax County registrar was not going to count dozens of military ballots that came from overseas because they were missing the address of the witness - which the FWAB doesn't provide space for. Luckily, state Attorney General Bob McDonnell ruled that the state should count the votes even if they don't include the witness' address...
