It’s Election Day — and celebrities want all Americans to celebrate.
As President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney tirelessly rallied support on the campaign trail in recent months, many high-profile Hollywood names — from George Clooney to Eva Longoria to Clint Eastwood — stumped for their candidate from coast-to-coast.
And now that decision day is here, they and many others in Tinseltown are taking to Twitter to get out the vote. From pushing Americans to make their voices matter to sharing sites for polling information, politically minded stars are encouraging voters to take part in the democratic process.
They’re not just talking the talk — stars are voting, too, and sharing their experiences and polling-booth snaps on Twitter.

It was my first time voting so I was excited about the sticker lol :( but still, yayyy voting!!!!
Result:
Romney - 0 people
Obama - 30 people
Other - 2 people
I voted "other" because if I was American I would've voted for the green party. But I live in Sweden...
My family and I actually want to get a vacation home in Ystad or Helsinborg.
second time voting for president obama because i'm chicana, poor, queer, i have a uterus i want to control, and most importantly, a brain!
<3
altho my heart is really with jill stein, but i'm willing to set aside my feelings on the two-party system bc my rights are at stake.

and the whole early voting thing or mailing your vote, that just seems like bait for electoral fraud.
So if we want to change it, Congress has to introduct legislation to amend the constitution and then the states have to ratify it and yeah. No one has really cared enough to change it yet.
then again I could just stay in my apt and be lazy...
and now I'm pissed because I have to work in 10 minutes and could have done Urban Outfitters after class today :( I hope you find something good though!
