JUNE 28--Prior to last week's Washington, D.C. premiere of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore denied that the new documentary 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.

What a shock. Michael Moore lied.
Hey guy, mind posting with the actual title next time?

Next move--find out how many times he voted in the last election.
"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."
Cue the Baghdad Bob photos.
bttt
Some needs to audit his tax returns to see if he has stiffed NY or Mi.
Great find!

two-states-wide fat joke in three... two...
Demonrats mantra= Vote early, vote often.
Pardon my ignorance (here in Illinois), but don't all Democrats vote twice? I think they only vote once after they pass away, though.
Only 2? Why he ought to be ashamed. And he calls himself a good Democrat?
my grandparents voted republican every day until they died ... they have voted democratic ever since

I guess we were all thinking of the same thing at the same time. LOL!
