Tim Robbins tried voting at his NYC polling place earlier today. There was some kind of ruckus and the cops were called.

Apparently, Robbins has been voting at that polling place for more than a decade, but today his name wasn't on the register. They told Robbins he had to fill out a provisional ballot but he didn't want to do it. An argument erupted between Robbins and the poll worker. Robbins allegedly got loud and the poll worker said he was calling the cops.

Robbins accused the poll worker of trying to intimidate him so he wouldn't vote.

Robbins went downtown to the City Board of Elections to get proof he was good to vote.

4. As a registered NYC Dem, I find it hard to believe that there's an issue with voter fraud. Probably just a misunderstanding. Pretty funny story though.

Obama/Biden 08! You got my vote around 10am this morning!!!!!!!!

8. Isn't it a funny coincidence that anyone using "liberal" while implying a negative connotation sounds like an idiot / dying breed?

10. Yeah Tim, out of everyone in NYC, they randomly selected you to victimize.... Get real.

11. I'm sure whatever the problem was, Robbins started it. What a little wuss. I'm surprised he didn't call his Mom, Susan Sarandon, to come down. Actually, I'm surprised he was allowed out without her. I suppose lil Tim did his imitation tough guy act with the clerk and after the guy stopped laughing he called the cops so Tim wouldn't get hurt.

13. I can't believe that the camera guy is following people all around NY to see who votes and still has not voted? I bet he's not even going to vote.

14. I love how you are only reporting how the democrats are being treated unjustly. I guess you haven't heard about the black panthers in PA physically intimidating people at the polling center. HMMM...I wonder who they could possibly be voting for.

15. Maybe NYC isn't his primary residence. I hope the jerk didn't vote in LA, too!
