Several U.S. celebrities appeared nude in a video to bring attention to 'naked ballots', and encourage voters to follow vote-by-mail instructionsA group of Hollywood celebrities stripped in a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) to bring attention to “naked ballot” laws, which require voters in 16 states to place their mail-in ballots in two different envelopes. One inside of the other and in a specific order for their votes to be counted, otherwise their votes are disqualified. The ad features Tiffany Haddish, Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Naomi Campbell, Mark Ruffalo, Sarah Silverman, Josh Gad, Ryan Michelle Bathe, and a fully dressed Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen). Celebs urged voters on the necessary steps to take when voting by mail and asked voters to mail or drop off their ballots ASAP. If the ballot is not inserted correctly in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it is considered “naked” and rejected. This “naked ballot rule” risks the rejection of hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes, which could significantly impact U.S. election results.
The PSA was created by RepresentUs, which describes itself as a nonpartisan organization focused on voting rights. The RepresentsUs co-founder and CEO, Josh Silver, said that the message about naked ballots is a valuable reminder for all voters, no matter their political leanings.
