George Clooney, via Vote Common Good, gives us the bro version of their recent ad featuring Julia Roberts reminding women that the secret ballot means that women don’t have to vote like their husbands tell them to.
Whether either ad will persuade large numbers of people is probably besides the point: it’s a game of small numbers at this point.
Incidentally, one of the terrible things about large-scale mail-in voting (as opposed to early in-person voting) is that it opens the door to voter intimidation and vote selling. It’s tough to sell your vote if there is no way for the buyer to know if you did what you promised. Both sales and pressure are easy at the kitchen table.
