Jacob Soboroff from Why Tuesday? went with actress Kirsten Dunst to the Los Angeles County Registrars office, video camera in hand, and cast their ballots two weeks before election day.

Barely Politicals Rusty Ward visited Comic-Con in San Diego to find out who masked heroes and villains would vote for.
A Ghostbuster in full gear says we’re embarassing ourselves as a nation, and thus we must vote for McCain. The Joker, constrained in a straight jacket, although he’d prefer Mit Romney. Catwoman is a libertarian, and some scantily clad gals are pro-Ron Paul.
