Election Day: Stars Get Out the Vote on Twitter



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.

I still understand the point of the popular vote if the electoral vote is the one that really matters.
leviicorpus 6th-Nov-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
iirc the popular vote is supposed to determine how the electorates vote. as in, each member of the college represents a certain district and the way that district votes determines how the member votes.

i voted by absentee ballot a few days ago and i see today it's been counted. :') so excited to finally vote in my first presidential election.
icangoforthat 6th-Nov-2012 10:52 pm (UTC)
how can u check?
treradical 6th-Nov-2012 10:53 pm (UTC)
google "check status of ballot" and then put your state next to it

the one for california is http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-status/
onyxobsidian 6th-Nov-2012 10:57 pm (UTC)
in WA, there's a website you can check to see if it's been received. Then after the election, it keeps track of your voting history. Unfortunately it's only as recent as 2006, so it doesn't show my vote in the 2004 election ;(
sweeetkiwi 6th-Nov-2012 10:57 pm (UTC)
my search found no matches :/

i sent my absentee weeks ago
oblivious_frog 6th-Nov-2012 11:18 pm (UTC)
Damn I can't find any FL sites that tell me if mine was received. Only what day it was sent to me -_-
roxiful 6th-Nov-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
Would someone explain to me what the issue was with having to show ID to vote? You have to show some kind of ID in Canada, so it doesn't make sense to me why there was a kerfuffle.
spartacus 6th-Nov-2012 10:56 pm (UTC)
it disenfranchises people who can't afford IDs, usually low-income and minorities in the US. 30 states have some law iirc
tankmachine 6th-Nov-2012 10:59 pm (UTC)
the laws regarding ID (at least here in PA) are really strenuous and are meant to discourage people from voting bc not everybody has legal ID
citrus00 6th-Nov-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
same in MN
expromqueen 6th-Nov-2012 11:02 pm (UTC)
republicans used a lot of last-minute tactics to try to restrict what kind of ids would be acceptable...so that, for instance, elderly ppl who don't have a current driver's license wouldn't be able to vote, even if they had other forms of id that are generally acceptable
sprywonderdog 6th-Nov-2012 11:24 pm (UTC)
There are actually places in the US that don't allow you to use your photo student ID, but do allow your non-photo gun license.
kalysse14 6th-Nov-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
I don't understand why every state doesn't vote like Oregon. Mail in ballots you get about 2-3 weeks before the election, you can mail them in or drop them off. There's a deadline for mail-ins, but good GOD it is the easiest thing ever!
affliction 6th-Nov-2012 10:54 pm (UTC)
i wish sfm i could have just done it this way
actxappalledx 6th-Nov-2012 11:17 pm (UTC)
I would prefer this over the hour in line I had to wait
kalysse14 7th-Nov-2012 12:38 am (UTC)
seriously.. not only can you vote on your own time, but you can take your time researching the issues.. It's heaven and I don't think I'll ever re-register in Connecticut.. absentee for life
wonderwomanhero 6th-Nov-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)


If Romney takes away our rights...I wonder if there will be an incident similar to the peasant women marching on Versailles.
mhfromnh 6th-Nov-2012 10:53 pm (UTC)
we can make it happen.
itsafunny_thing 6th-Nov-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)

mhfromnh 6th-Nov-2012 10:52 pm (UTC)
