A number of celebrities, including Donald Trump critics Sarah Silverman, Mark Ruffalo, and Chelsea Handler, have raised eyebrows with a video in which they strip to explain naked ballots and encourage voting. | |
“I’m naked,” comedian and actor Chris Rock opens the video saying, sans a shirt. He’s followed by several other outspoken liberal performers like Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish announcing the same thing. | “I’m naked,” comedian and actor Chris Rock opens the video saying, sans a shirt.

"I know what you're thinking – you're thinking, Ruffalo, put your clothes on," ‘Avengers’ star Mark Ruffalo says, shirtless, in a bathroom. | |

Several of the female celebrities can be seen covering their breasts. Comedian Sarah Silverman, who does her covering with her self-described “man” hands, ends the video by baring her chest, which is blurred out, and saluting the camera after the celebs encourage “everyone” to get out and vote. | Several of the female celebrities can be seen covering their breasts.

“Everyone’s voice matters in this election,” Chelsea Handler, who has claimed that a vote for Trump is a vote for “white supremacy,” says. | |
The video was put together by RepresentUs, an anti-corruption organization. Though that group’s CEO, Josh Silver, said in a statement that naked ballots are “not a partisan issue,” the PSA is stuffed with anti-Trump celebrities, including a clothed Sacha Baron Cohen as his film character Borat, who will be the center of a movie critical of the president set to be released weeks before the November 3 election. | |
The video’s nude celebrities gimmick has made plenty of critics cringe on social media. | The video’s nude celebrities gimmick has made plenty of critics cringe on social media. |
