Lansing - The Michigan Republican Party is asking the Ingham County prosecutor to file charges against filmmaker Michael Moore, charging that he illegally offered underwear, noodles and snacks to college students in exchange for their promise to vote. The GOP said it also asked prosecutors in Wayne, Antrim and Isabella counties to charge Moore with violating Michigan's election law. "We want everyone to participate in this year's election, but not because they were bribed or coerced by the likes of Michael Moore," said Greg McNeilly, executive director of the state Republican Party. The election law prohibits a person from contracting with another for something of value in exchange for agreeing to vote. During a visit to MSU Thursday, Moore threw packages of Ramen noodles and underwear to students who promised to vote for either candidate.
