When Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins showed up at his West 14th Street YMCA polling center in Manhattan to vote Tuesday morning, election officials told him that his name was missing from the register.

"I went to vote where I normally vote and I was not listed. I asked for an explanation; they had none," Robbins told CNN.

He said he has been voting in the same district since 1992. He has not missed one election, and has not changed addresses or political affiliations.

"The poll worker said my name was in the book for the primary two months ago, but missing for the general election," he told CNN.

Although Robbins was offered the opportunity to fill out a provisional ballot, he was set on using the voting machine instead.

"Refuse provisional ballots — they're throwing those out, they can throw those out," he told viewers of "Real Time With Bill Maher" last month.

Just got a txt message...
|lol|

ABC and MSNBC has called PA for Obama!

If McCain loses one more BG State it is OVER.........

Wow the landslide may be starting |party

Looks like Democrats have the majority in the senate, think they can get the magic 60 needed for filibuster proof majority?

I don't think so and I don't want them to. I just want them to get enough to kick out Lieberman of the caucuses. I want the parties to be forced to work together.

I don't like the fact that Pelosi doesn't allow republican input and I'm no fan of of republicans as a whole. But that is just not right for this country.

OHIO OBAMA!!!!!

That's a biggie....it wasn't close either 56-43, quite decisive!

Not too bad for a socialist Muslim Marxist friend of terrorist America hating lib'ral with a middle name that scares the righties shitless...:D

Now that's funny. |lol|

It's Official - Congrats Obama!!!

President Obama, your country awaits, make us proud, you can do it, WE CAN DO IT!

WOW!!! Now maybe things can get better for so many that need it.

|bananna|Way to go Obama |bananna|

My jaw hurts from grinding my teeth all day. Even though the pundits talked about him winning all day long, I was still fearful. (I don't think I'll feel truly satisfied until his inauguration.)

If David Gregory would learn to shut his mouth and not announce unimportant news while others are making poignant statements, I'd be overjoyed. |thumb

Congrats to the US and A!

I been tearing up all night, but I broke down when I saw President Obama and Vice President Biden take the stage together for the first time, I realized when I looked at them that we once more will have two men in office who are respected by the WORLD and we as a nation will once more be respected by the world not from fear, but from ideology.

This is a very proud day.

"Remember remember the 5th of November" is very fitting; this is the new American Revolution…And it happened in our lifetime.

I'm fucking speechless.

Congrats to all US folks! Well done!!

Your decision has elevated the US a step forward to where it should be internationally - and doors will already have been opened tonight.|bananna|

Wooohooo! Time to party!

Cool :)

Congrats my overseas firends, now let's hope things actually will get better :)

Feeling a little bleary after drinking celebratory champagne. Yes we can drink a whole bottle.

Bit disappointed with the dichotomy of the state I live in. Florida goes progressive and elects Obama but at the same time approves a discriminatory ban on gays.

Congrats Obama

Yes WE Did!!! |thumb

Sorry to hear Cleo about that bill being defeated but there is hope on the horizon that perhaps we'll make some subtle changes that will be more inclusive in the future.

Holy shit it's over. I'm in a solid red state, but have supported Obama all along.

It's a good day today...

Ya big ol softy |thumb
I was moved to tears too, the wife said "are you crying"
I sobbed "yes I am"

I was a bit teary, but was also doing happy dances too.

I too felt like finally we will win back respect in the US. MadHatter said in Europe they wanted Obama voted in 4 to 1. I hope he gets on a national health care plan soon...I'd so love to be able to afford a better health care plan. |thumb

Too bad FL voted down gay marriages, but MI voting to legalize medical marijuana made me proud.

That was a great speech |thumb I was more than teary eyed I was crying like a baby.

Shame on Florida for the saying yes to 2 |catfight|

President Obama |bananna|

My birth state of Indiana voted for a black man, I never thought I would see that happen.

So much has changed.

But I agree Cleo, we still have such a long way to go, and the next battlefield is for gay rights.

I still can't believe Indiana and Virginia.

The country's pretty fucked up about gay rights and gay marriage... I hope the political climate changes a bit over the next few years. One thing for sure, having the party that has fundamental Christians as its constituency out of power is a nice first step.

I had a the biggest frog in my throat when he was giving his speech. My lady was on the couch crying. I started cleaning up the kitchen just so I wouldn't loose it.

Such an amazing time.

Even though Latinos & African-Americans came out for Obama, as a voting block they are socially conservative and that is what got those horrible things passed.

I went through a box of tissue easily all night....I'm still going at times.

Yeah, I almost broke down while running on the treadmill today just from seeing all the video of the worlds reaction.

I'm such a girl.

|cry|<---|lol|

I was ok till I saw this video, then I lost it.

Thank you America for voting |bananna|

The palinforpresident.us song got to me where his speech was put to words. And I was tearing up on and off after I saw he won.

I can't believe in my county (Nye) the majority voted for McCain, even though Nevada went for Obama.

Come on, this county has legal brothels, and they vote for McCain? Whats up with that? |loony|
