Actor Tim Robbins was not happy when told he would have to vote by provisional ballot in New York on Tuesday, TMZ.com is reporting.

The actor and well-known liberal activist became enraged when officials at his usual polling location in New York informed him that his name was not on the register, the Web site reports. Polling authorities asked him to fill out a provisional ballot instead of using the machine.

"This is just one example of how difficult it is to vote in the United States," he said.

He’s right it is difficult. You have to go through the onerous task of registering. If you get to the polls and your name isn’t there, you get to vote anyway. Wow...so unfair.

What an idiot!! So he had to fill out a ballad because his name wasn’t on the register. Big deal. He is probably registered in CA or something.
Three minutes is so hard.

He was probably thinking, “Do they not know who I am?”

My wife and I moved here about 6 months ago and registered to vote when we got our driver’s licenses. Same place, same time. My wife, who registered as an Independent was on the voter list, and I, registered as a Republican, was not. I filled out a provisional ballot without complaint. Funny, I live in one of the very few blue counties in my red state (SD).

Robbins, you are a loser.

Why doesn’t he and all his liberal friends go on a hike to the grand canyon to celebrate. We can bulid them a huge platform overlooking the canyon. It will be very safe and well constructed. Whoops, I miscalculated their combined weights, nooooooooooooooooo.....

My think is, I’m at the office working while reading and posting, and do not pay attention, and never proof read my posts. I hit “Post” and let the chips fall where they may.

Tim Robbins? I thought Tim and what’s-her-name moved to another country after the last election.

I was thinking just stranding them in the middle of a vast expanse of nothingness, why defile a beautiful landscape with them?

what a doosh.

While I appreciate that he was unhappy about his name being removed, they offered him a ready and quick solution to the issue.

One more example of an out-of-touch liberal hollyweirdo.
