Tim Robbins went to vote yesterday in New York only to discover he wasn't on the rolls at his polling place. A normal person, at this point, would run home for a utility bill or a bank statement to prove residency, come back, fill out the form and get on with it. But not Tim. He had to start yelling at the poor, almost surely elderly election worker, who ended up calling the police. Robbins claims he got all mad because they tried to make him fill out a provisional ballot, and provisional ballots are the most evil things in the history of the world and a great man like Tim Robbins shouldn't have to touch something so foul and icky.
Uh, staggering coincidence - just a couple weeks ago on Bill Maher, Robbins was screaming about the provisional ballots and how people should report any polling place that attempted to make them fill one out. It's Tim's belief that the use of provisional ballots, which can be thrown out, are an attempt at voter suppression. Tim's eerily prophetic rant begins about a minute into this video:
So here's what Tim thinks: He thinks election workers in Manhattan are trying to suppress the votes of rich liberals like himself. Really? Cause Manhattan is such a Republican bastion. Yeah, I'm sure Tim and Susan Sarandon (who had no trouble voting herself, by the way) live in the only Republican district. I don't know what kind of shenanigans Tim was pulling, but I certainly do smell shenanigans. Self-serving bullshit shenanigans meant to aid Tim's alleged reputation as a crusader for Democracy. Somehow, he set it up so there would be a row in that polling place and the cops would be called and he could play martyr for the cause. What a sad, sick little man you are Timothy.
