Tim Robbins Couldn't Vote -- Cops Called

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.

121. well, well, neocons - your candidate has lost. Stop the hate-mongering now... face the fact that the next American president will be an African-American, and that the majority of America has had their say. Time to correct the mistakes of the last 8 years....

CONGRATS OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please #99, don't ever speak for Jesus or God.... most of the conservative jackasses in this country try to speak for those two, but could hardly no what the hell Jesus or God are thinking.... Born-agains are a straight blasphemy to God himself I bet...

123. For Rick:

Bless you my son. I know what side I'm on, and we will prevail. BTW, I think the part of your comment as written: "but could hardly no what the hell" should have read:
"but would hardly KNOW what the hell". And you're calling me a retard?
I'll pray for you, even though you're a moron.

God Bless!

124. two words...

P.R.E.S.I.D.E.N.T O.B.A.M.A ...
Start practicing by letting those two words roll around in your rethuglican conservative tongues .
Get used to it , process and asorb it because you have no chioice otherwise. There is NOTHING you can say or do ...America has spoken by a LANDSLIDE !!!! Not just 537 votes , lolololol.

It's time to clean house , take our country back , the promise of America for everyone . No more being ashamed of the most assinine administration in the history of the United States. You cannot control women's bodies , it is solely up to them if abortion is a decision or not . Love is love , same sex marriage or not , you can't control that either , lessen the war and slowly phase out our troops , begin bringing the economy back to normal by years 3 and 4 , THANK GOD THE RETHUGLICANS ARE NO LONGER DICTATING.
President Obama , we are so excited for change and it is your administration that is going to do it !!! WHOOO HOOO !!!!!

128. I was disapproved to vote for registering too late a few years ago and it really pissed me off Even went before a judge. I can see why Tim got annoyed but thats no excuse for bad behavior. Obviously he felt a need to draw more attention to himself. Thats his problem, not the poll worker just doing their job. Grow up Tim. Stick to making movies. Its what your're good at.

129. Tim, you have always been and will always be a Jackass. As for Obama, congratulations on making history. Unfortunately, many of his classless supporters were celebrating all night long by firing their guns in the air last night here in Ft. Lauderdale. Swear to God, I was afraid a bullet was going to come through my bedroom window. That is certainly a change.

130. Outside of Dennis Miller, Tim Robbins is the BIGGEST JERK ever. He was at my work during the filming of "The Lucky Ones" and was unreasonable. He thought the whole world should revolve around him and anyone who thought otherwise was a moron. Wish I could have called the cops on him...

132. He said this is one reason why it's difficult to vote in the US. It's not difficult you moron. You get on-line, check your voting status and go vote, dip wad. You and your wife think the rest of us wait with baited breath on your every liberal opinion. I for one, don't care one bit about your Hollywood opinion.

133. Another display of elitist Hollywood arrogance. I too had to vote via provisional ballot at my regular polling place, due to a mix-up. However, I did not cause a scene which required the police to respond, I simply took the extra time to fill out the appropriate paperwork. Grow up Tim, it's not all about you!
