who voted in the election?
An exhaustive list of who is voting for who, among hip-hop artists and celebrities alike.

Election day is officially upon us. As of November 2, a record-breaking 99 million+ Americans had already cast their ballots for the 2020 Presidential Election, whether in-person or by mail, far exceeding the roughly 47 million early voters in the 2016 election. Pivotal states Texas and Washington registered more early votes than their entire 2016 voter turnouts, while highly sought-after state, Florida, trails just behind in its voter turnout rate, with early voter ballots exceeding 93% of the state’s 2016 total turnout. 

This upsurge in early voting can largely be credited to the COVID-19 pandemic, with people wanting to avoid crowded voting sites on the day of the election, instead opting to vote in-person in the weeks leading up to the election, or to cast their ballot by mail. All in all, it appears America is gearing up for a potentially historic voter turnout in today’s presidential election.

Last week, Lil Wayne sent the internet into pandemonium when he endorsed Donald Trump for president on Twitter, leading people to accuse the rapper of caring more about protecting his hordes of wealth than his fellow minorities, with John Legend even implying Weezy F must be in “the sunken place.” Other celebrities, like T.I. and Megan Thee Stallion, have been equally vocal in their support of Biden, encouraging their fans to head to the polls and vote for the Democratic presidential nominee, in what is sure to be one of the most momentous elections of all time. 

Scroll further to view the exhaustive list we've compiled, to see which celebrities we know have voted or plan to vote today, and who they are voting for, if we know-- if we don't know, they're organized in Unknown, below.

Tinashe posted up in front of her local polling center earlier today. Tinashe previously told Pitchfork about her vote: "Voting for Donald Trump this election is an act of violence against middle-class Americans, Black people, immigrants, poor people, women, LGBTQ people, and countless others. Their rights have already been stripped away, and it will only get worse. We deserve a leader who at least tries to care for anyone other than himself. Vote for Joe Biden, period."

50 had heads shaking when he joked on the Gram that he "Didn't want to be 20 Cent," in reference to Biden's proposed taxes on the rich (those who make upwards of $400k/year), in what many took as an endorsement for Trump. The rapper's ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Handler, called him out for his statement, then clarified days later in an interview on The View that 50 was just joking, and would indeed be voting for Biden.  


KANYE WEST VOTERS

Kanye West

If there's any lesson to be learned from 2020, it's that Kanye does as Kanye pleases. After announcing he would be entering the presidential race on July 4th, the several attempts to discourage the the rapper from doing so have all proved futile, and Kanye cast his vote for himself earlier today.
