ACT Florida -- Registering Voters

ACT Florida -- Registering Voters (back)


	Early Oct. 2004--Volunteers Adrienne Larkin of Novato, CA and Mary Irvine of Berkeley, CA register voters at Wild Oats Natural Marketplace in Miami Beach just days before the registration deadline. Larkin, a retired office manager, said she was out in California and upset that Bush was ahead in the polls when she determined, "I'm going to go do something." Asked how she ended up in Florida, Larkin said "Kerry may or may not win Ohio, but he can win Florida." She arrived in Florida on Sept. 19. Irvine, a special ed teacher, got involved through Swing the State, a website launched by Sharif Corinaldi, which set her up with ACT. Larkin and Irvine estimated they had registered about 150 people in four days.
