Sarah Silverman political videos are back, y’all!
After encouraging old Jewish Floridians to vote for Obama in 2008 and encouraging billionaire mogul Sheldon Adelson to stop his support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney in exchange for, um, scissoring, the Jewish comedian now wants to spread the word about voter ID laws.
In a video posted on YouTube last week, Silverman talks to people of certain states, which laws require state issued ID to vote in the general elections, and mostly “black people, old people, poor people and students” who are sought to be the most affected demographics of these laws, and are also the ones most likely to vote for President Obama.
Of course, while being an informative video, it is said in a very Silverman-y way, mostly with foul language and some harsh descriptions.
The ad was paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research at LetMyPeopleVote2012.com.
