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.

What can a Hollywood liberal like Sarah Silverman do to keep Florida from the GOP? Visit her grandparents and influence their vote… by threatening not to visit again unless Obama wins, among other techniques, and invites others to make the “Great Schlep” with her.

Take a peek, and see if you can figure it out before the end title.



Did you think it was effective as I did?

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.
Clearly there’s interest and enthusiasm all around, which makes one wonder whether future elections couldn’t be made part of co

For about a year, election reform campaign “Why Tuesday?” has been challenging ordinary citizens and politicians of every rank to think of what could be done to increase voter participation, focusing on whether moving elections to Saturdays or Sundays would have an impact.
