KEY POINTS
- Jennifer Aniston shared a photo of herself dropping her ballot into a verified collection box
- The "Morning Show" star revealed she voted for Joe Biden
- Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts expressed support for Aniston's message
Jennifer Aniston has cast her ballot nearly two weeks ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
In her latest Instagram post, the “Friends” alum shared photos of herself covered up in a mask, sunglasses, blue sweatshirt and matching pants as she drops her ballot into a verified collection box. She also wrote a note explaining why she voted for Joe Biden and his vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
"#IVOTED for @joebiden and @kamalaharris. I dropped my ballot off, and I did it early, I voted for them because right now this country is more divided than ever," Aniston wrote Friday.
"Right now, a few men in power are deciding what women can and can’t do with their own bodies," she continued. "Our current President has decided that racism is a non-issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science... too many people have died."
The "Morning Show" star also urged her social media followers to "really consider" those who will be "most affected" by the outcome of the election.
"Your daughters, the LGBTQ+ community, our Black brothers and sisters, the elderly with health conditions, and your future kids and grandkids (who will be tasked with saving a planet that our leadership refuses to believe is hurting)," she added. "This whole thing isn’t about one candidate or one single issue, it’s about the future of this country and of the world. Vote for equal human rights, for love, and for decency."
Concluding her message, Aniston discouraged people from writing in Kanye West's name on their ballots.
"It’s not funny to vote for Kanye. I don’t know how else to say it. Please be responsible," she wrote.
Several celebrities and fans who follow the actress expressed support for her message, including Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts and Aniston's "Morning Show" co-star and friend Reese Witherspoon.
“Perfect, Jen,” Garner commented with black heart emoji.
“Beautifully and perfectly expressed,” Roberts wrote.
“Yes to this!” Witherspoon wrote on Aniston's post.
Other A-list stars have also shared their voting stickers on social media and encouraged others to vote early in the upcoming election, including Witherspoon, Zoe Kravitz, Elle Fanning, Tracee Ellis Ross, Madonna and Kerry Washington.
Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian recently faced backlash after she wore a black cap with the words "Vote Kanye" and promoted merchandise supporting the rapper's presidential campaign on her lifestyle website, Poosh. Some netizens interpreted her photo as an endorsement of her brother-in-law and deemed it an irresponsible move for someone who has millions of followers.
"[Kourtney Kardashian] posting an insta story to her 102 MILLION followers encouraging them to vote for kanye is one of the most irresponsible, egregious and reckless uses of that family’s platform that I’ve ever seen," one person tweeted.
