I even v-v-v-v voter myshelf. First time ever too" Reporter. "Could you state your intent in voting? D " S-s-s-s shure, I voted to save my life" Reporter. " Why was that" D. Well, a nice man came up and I t-t-t-t- told him I wuz dying for a drink, so he gave me this card and said he would give me 5 bucks if I would go in and sign his name and get a ballot to vote for a Mr Algore. So I got the ballot card and stuffed it in the machine and pulled the lever 5 times just to make sure I had -v-v-v-voted right. But I never got the 5 smakers tho cause he was gone when I came back out. C-c-c-c-could you spare a fiver for a cup of coffee? Reporter: "Not today" The reporter approaches lady leaving grocery store with a paper bag..... Reporter " Miss, we are taking a survey of peoples intent when voting. Could you help us? Lady: "Well yes, young man, I certainly can. I voted for the money" Reporter "For money" Lady " Yes. Three years ago my husband got a union job and became a Democrat and hes been hounding me ever since to vote Democratic even if I'm a Republican. So last week he dropped me off at the polling place and said if I didn't vote Democratic he would'nt sign his Friday paycheck. Reporter: "So you cast a vote Mr Gore for money?" Lady, " No,no, I just TOLD my husband I would vote for Gore, what that SOB doesn't know won't hurt him" Sig
