Bush's Texas ranch. Moore initially said he would come to Crawford and discuss the movie afterward -- and even invited Bush to attend. But on Wednesday Moore decided to remain at the Democratic national convention in Boston. Yesterday, Moore said he plans to take his cameras to Florida on Election Day, amid continuing controversy over voting machines in the state known for its 2000 electoral debacle, the Sun-Sentinel newspaper reported. "I am committed. I am coming to Florida," the South Florida daily quoted Moore as saying. "Together, we will guarantee to every Floridian that their vote will be counted this year."
