Florida Voting So Smooth, Michael Moore Packs Up, Leaves
 In what Gov. Jeb Bush interpreted as a positive comment on a smooth Election Day, filmmaker Michael Moore, in South Florida on the lookout for election problems, packed up his crew and headed to Ohio. The turnout for voting was being called "amazing" by some of those working at manning the polls in South Florida. Voters turned out in record numbers, with as many as 72 percent of Miami-Dade voters casting a ballot. That in addition to 91,000 who cast absentee ballots, and 244,000 who voted early. In Broward County, the number of people voting today is expected to exceed the 66 percent who voted in the 2000, perhaps by a large amount. In Broward County, 96,000 cast absentee ballots, while another 172,000 voted early. In some locations, there were still lines at polling places, but at most precincts the wait was less than a half an hour by noon, with some locations having no wait at all.Posted by: Fred 2004-11-03 |
