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.

If you or anyone you know had problems voting or saw any questionable practices at the poll, contact your county's supervisor of election's office and 1-866-OUR-VOTE immediately.

I cannot get over how many teenagers/young adults voted for Romney. It just doesn't make sense to me.

They're either rednecks or they believe any bs they hear.

expromqueen 6th-Nov-2012 10:19 pm (UTC)
i didn't get a sticker though :( i guess they weren't handing them out. also i live in texas and NONE of the polling places in my county had signs up. everyone i met said they were confused about where to go. i think it was deliberate :/

Jamaica too. I've been twice and I see so many Obama stickers on cars, including a Change poster done in rasta colors.

was driving my hour long journey to go vote (I moved, changed my address, and I was still mysteriously registered to vote in my old county, but whatever) and on the way up I saw a HUGE homemade sign on the side of the expressway that said:

"Mitt, we're ashamed you call us home. Love, the women of Michigan."

with a giant Big Bird plush tacked on top, and a bunch of Obama signs below.

GO MICHIGAN!

so proud.

last night in Manchester some guy was trolling the Romney rally by driving around the arenazone with a fake dog strapped to the roof.

You can still send your vote in by mail here in WA state, as long as it's postmarked by 8pm.

But I mean, we are always blue so it won't matter really.

I know it's illegal to post pics of your ballot, but who's gonna regulate?

Beyonce posted her pics w/ her ballot.

Mary J. Blige posted a pic of her entering the voting booth, w/ a ballot clearly in the background.

Who's gonna lay down the law on them though?!
mistress_f 6th-Nov-2012 10:27 pm (UTC)
i think it's only illegal to post your market ballot (at least here is). did beyonce really post hers? brb checking her twitter
onyxobsidian 6th-Nov-2012 10:28 pm (UTC)
It's not illegal in every state.

In California and New York it's illegal only after it has been marked. It's not illegal in my state though. However, I didn't take a picture and post it on Facebook because I think that's kind of lame.
