Voter Activist Tim Robbins Rejected at Polling Place

Tim Robbins’ Election Day was complicated by a glitch in the voter rolls, leaving the actor in exactly the situation he has described when urging Americans to fight for their right to vote.
Workers at the Chelsea polling station where he's voted for more than 10 years couldn’t find Robbins’ name, the New York Times reports, and instead offered him a provisional ballot—the ballot he has advised voters not to accept.

Robbins duly argued with poll staff.
