Al Sharpton visits coast

The Reverend Al Sharpton visits Savannah today to encourage Georgia residents to vote. Sharpton, a 2004 presidential candidate and civil rights activist, speaks at 7 tonight at Conner's Temple Baptist Church. He is participating in the "Not This Time" campaign to prevent a repeat of the 2000 and 2004 elections when there were widespread complaints of voter obstruction and vote manipulation.
