#GOTV! How Celebrities and Fashion Peeps Voted Today

#GOTV! How Celebrities and Fashion Peeps Voted Today

As you’re no doubt aware, today is Election Day. And while celebrities sometimes seem like they’re from another planet, let alone country, many of them are indeed Americans–and they were eager to vote just like the rest of us.

Click through to see celebrities voting, and read what they had to say about it. And if you haven’t voted yet, get yourself to a polling place STAT!!

4. Why isn’t Tim concerned by Fabio’s newborn baby palette?
