Michael Moore Caught With Multiple Election Registrations

The Smoking Gun reveals that Michael Moore is registered to vote in two states: New York and Michigan.



Although he has claimed to be an "independent” and not a Democrat, records from the New York City Board of Elections show that in reality he registered as a Democrat, the Web site reported.

"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)."

And there's more: "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."

This was written by correspondent Carl Limbacher, who I have known as a respected reporter in the past. I cannot believe he would post such a story without doing research. The fact that a person is registered in two states is not unusual at all. When you change residences, and register to vote in the new state, you are NOT required to DE-register in the old state. The old state will automatically drop you from their rolls after you have not shown up for a number of general elections...local, state and federal.

Michael Moore campaigned for Nader in 2000, which means he doesn't always support the Democrats, and says more than his party registration.

4. Does anyone ever cancel their old registrations when they move?
I'm probably still registered in TN where I used to live last year. I wouldn't even begin to know how to cancel that registration or even who is in charge of that.
