Celebs vote in the 2012 election
It’s Election Day and even celebrities are casting their votes.
Dozens of A-list celebs are backing President Obama's re-election. Bruce Springsteen, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Longoria have been deployed in vital must-win states to advocate on the president’s behalf.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, boasts more big business and banking names on his roster rather than showbiz supporters. However, Kid Rock, Kelsey Grammar, Chuck Norris, Meat Loaf and Donald Trump are all backing the Republican candidate.
