COLUMBUS, OH—In response to growing concerns over celebrity election meddling, several states have introduced voting machines with new technology that will immediately discard your ballot if it determines you are voting because a celebrity told you to.

"We are extremely concerned about celebrity influence in this election," said Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. "According to several authoritative studies, celebrities are literally the worst. We can't allow our future to be determined by celebrities or anyone insane enough to listen to them."

Polls have shown that there are actually a few people out there who rely on celebrities like Mark Ruffalo and Sarah Silverman to remind them to vote in each election. There are others who rely on reminders from Facebook or the Google homepage to get them to the polls.

"These people actually need to be nagged by celebrities to vote every year. Words cannot express how incredibly dangerous these people are," said LaRose.

Satire or Truth?

Mighty thin line there.

Soon the voting machines will display little “no go” symbols (the red circle bisected by a diagonal red line) next to the Republican candidates, and little smiley face emoticons next to the Democrat candidates.

Does not mean there is not an uncomfortable amount of truth in it.

But what if the celebrity is famous as a real estate mogul and "reality" show host? I want to vote how he told me.

Cat Stevens AKA Yusuf Islam?

What is his opinion on the green new deal?

Are they going to kill him because he is back to singing?

Maybe there is an exception for actually voting for the celebrity.
