Rock The Vote Celebs Like to Tell You to Vote, Even If They Don’t

Are you one of the folks who doesn't really pay attention to the mid-term elections? You aren’t alone.

The irony? Some of the famous folks daring you to “rock the vote,” haven’t taken their own medicine.

Rock The Vote released a public service announcement last month with a parody of Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" that featured public figures who explained why they planned to vote in the midterm elections, but as the Washington Post reports, according to public records, a number of them didn't vote in the last midterm election.

In fact, at least five who appeared in the PSA — "Girls" actress Lena Dunham, comedian Whoopi Goldberg, "Orange is the New Black" actress Natasha Lyonne, "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" star E.J. Johnson, and “Glee” actor Darren Criss — did not vote in the last midterm.  That’s according to records from Los Angeles County and New York City – the Post was unable to locate voting records for six others who appeared in the PSA, including Lil Jon.

According to a Harvard survey released last week, less than one in four voters ages 18 to 29 years old voted in the 2010 election, and about the same number will vote today, although their partisan preferences have changed.
