Without notice a silver Cadillac sped through an intersection, swerved, jumped the curb and barreled down the sidewalk straight toward Katherine Harris, the heavily made up former Florida Secretary of State who stopped counting ballots in the 2000 election when George W. Bush was 537 votes ahead. At the last minute the driver, Barry M. Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, swerved away and back onto the street leaving no one injured.
He later went to the police and reported that Ms. Harris, now a U.S. Representative from Florida, and her supporters had been standing in the street, impeding traffic and that had been exercising his right to express his political views. "I intimidated them with my car," Mr. Seltzer told the police. "I was exercising my political expression. I did not run them down."
While Woodburydadd whole heartedly encourages political activism, especially this year, it's best not to use your silver Cadillac to deliver your vote in this way.
