He previously appeared in the September 27, 2004, edition of Snowbirdgate World to talk about "Operation Snowbird," his effort to provide voter registration information to those already double-registered in both Florida and New York City and those eligible to vote in either place. Mr. Caplan urged such people to register only in Florida, where the electoral outcome for President Bush or Senator Kerry is more in doubt than it is in New York State, in order to have more electoral impact on the Presidential election.

In a new, second, interview with Etopia Media Voting News, Mr. Caplan today offered some updated comments on the voting environment in Florida as the November 2, 2004, election, which, like a still-unnamed tropical depression/hurricane, is even now bearing down on the Sunshine State.
In this new interview, he discusses early voting in Florida; the uneven distribution of the early voting stations (as between Broward County [which includes Ft. Lauderdale] and Palm Beach County and Duvall County [which includes the large city of Jacksonville]); legal challenges to voters; alleged Republican Party efforts to suppress (Democratic) voter turnout; the contribution to his eventual ascension to his current position as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court of his earlier, alleged similar activism in suppressing minority voting in Arizona of William Rehnquist, a member of the 5-4 majority that paved the way for President Bush's 2000 election "victory"; ethnically disproportionate felon lists; Broward County's absentee ballot mailing fiasco; provisional voting; and other aspects of what he refers to as a Florida elections "nightmare scenario."
