American Idol, The Voice Stars Urge Fans to VOTE in Elections

It was Election Day in America on November 5. Nationally, House and Senate seats were up for grabs. The Democrats took the house, while the Senate held on to the senate. Additionally, there were local races including governorships, state houses and more taking place all across the country.

Because Donald Trump, who took the presidency two years ago, has proven to be a controversial figure, citizens were fired up on both sides of the aisle. Also fired up about voting? Some of our favorite competition reality stars. See what they had to say on social media about Tuesday’s historic election.

American Idol OG winner Kelly Clarkson weighs in on politics, as she often does.

Didn’t get to vote in person but my absentee ballot has already been sent in and accounted for!! #GoVote Be a part of the change you need/seek! Thank you to all of the women before me that paved the road of opportunity and for my ability to vote! #NeverTakeItForGranted
