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.

137. What a jacka@#. Libs think that eveyrone is out to get 'em if everything doesn't go there way. There was a mix up, deal with it Robbins. Just because your famous doesn't mean you cannot be exposed to problems. By the way, I have always found it easy to vote in this country. Go back on that US hating Bill Maher show and kiss his ass, like you always have.

138. Just wanted to say what a fantastic victory for Obama even with so many Americans being disenfranchised through long hours of queing, names missing etc. The election of Obama has shown the world that over half of Americans have more sense then most people on here.
Oh and whats wrong with socialist, after all why should someone who is working but poor not be allowed decent healthcare when the manager of a hedgefund can get it? Whats wrong with having the right to voluntarily join a trade union to protect you from unscruplous bosses who put their profits before communities? Or stopping oil company's who pollute the planet and corrupt politicians? I love Obama I just wish he was a socialist!! Viva la revolution!!! From Birmingham Britain (across the Atlantic for Bush wannabees:) )

139. Wow, the Rethuglikkklans are so pissed they got their a$$ handed to them that commenting about Tim Robbin's and "liberals" are all they can do to avoid the reality that THEY GOT OWNED. Suck it up, you're all a bunch of Reich Wing nut job's, go back to Faux News and give O'Reilly a bj.
