There are few who wear their political heart on their sleeve like Tim Robbins.

It led to a ruckus. Robbins refused to accept the provisional ballot option and here's why:
Robbins marched down to the Board of Elections where he got his registration verified so that he could return to his poll and vote.

I sent out an e-mail blast in late September to everyone, including several who never hear from me otherwise, to my shame. I gave the link to the website that you can use to double-check your registration status and polling place. Quite a few people responded with "What's the big deal? I've voted in every election since blah-blah..."
